I want to spend.

The frontrunner at the moment is an AMD DDR cpu/mobo to upgrade my ailing p2-450 box.

When are the AMD DDR processors to be released to Joe Bloggs ? And what will they be called ? And will I have to buy all-new memory ? And will I have to buy a DDR graphics card ?

Cheers

All Athlons and Durons have a double-pumped bus so I suppose they're all DDR. Are you refering to DDR memory, though? DDR memory would require you to buy a MOBO which supports DDR memory and, yes, you would have to buy DDR memory for one of these main boards. Your old SDRAM would not fit. You shouldn't have any problems with your current video card barring any specific compatability problems with the MOBO. Your only problem with DDR at the moment is waiting for decent chipsets to be released and motherboards which use them. If anything good is released, you'll read about it here.
