Ok I got that all cancelled... WHEW!
I re-took the plunge however and got
this Jetway 790GX board. It can take bothe AM2
AND AM3 cpus, and has BOTH DDR2 and DDR3 slots. So I can use this mobo with the cpu and memory I have now until I feel the need to upgrade the memory and/or the cpu.
There are no reviews of it so I'm venturing into unknown territory with this. Its certainly a less expensive route - I had a new mobo, cpu and memory ordered before! Something like 340 bucks worth of stuff....
Anyone have experiences with Jetway or this board in particular?
