AM3? Try AM3+. Then you can shift gears from Semprom to Bulldozer if the need arises.
True, but at present you can get fairly decent AM3 boards for $50ish, AM3+ is a bit of a premium over that for now. Hopefully we see some affordable boards for AM3+ soon, something in the $60 range would be great, and honestly if they only have 1 PCI-e 3.0 x16 slot, that's good enough for 95% of the folks out there. Xfire/SLI guys will always be willing to spend the $100-$150 or even higher for proper boards in that arena.
