Re: [H] AMD platform

[swzaske]

In both cases you'll have to upgrade your mobo and possibly RAM 
depending on the choice for DDR2/DDR3 for AMD and DDR3 for Intel. 
Frankly, the upcoming i5 platform is going to be faster than Phenom II 
but it's going to be immature and more expensive for quite some time. I 
suggest you see what's available from AMD now and read the hardware 
previews on Lynnfield. Personally, I'd go AMD and DDR2 at this time. 
Next year that will be a different story. Good luck!

Am looking to upgrade my aging Q6600 cpu. Looking to go to AMD. But I have been a bit out of touch with the AMD top end stuff. 

Should I do the upgrade now or wait for lynnfield?

Thanks for the advice.
