I've been thinking a lot, and after hearing a lot of good things of phenom II, I think I'm going that route.
It's cheaper (leaving more money for other parts, like GPU or HD), very powerful(better than Q6600 in loads of benchmarks) and more upgradeable.
The thing is that I'm not sure if I should go the AM3 native support and DDR 3 or it's not worth it. In my country, the price difference is 100 U$S, enough to invest in a lot of other things.
Do you know if I will be able to upgrade to future AMD top of the line processors if I go the DDR-2 route?
Is the upgrade limited by chipset, RAM type or both?
Thanks!!
