should i wait for bulldozer price drops for 3-4 months or just go for a bulldozer supported mobo with a current amd cpu?

The least u can do now is wait till June 6th when Bulldozer launches...the picture(and ur decision)and will become clearer then....

Please post your current system specifications and intended usage.... In any case, you must wait for 6th June.

naah, i just want to know if early adopting is better or just stick with the best you can get right now.

also, i think amd will reduce prices of its older cpu's, no?

^^ yep, Phenom II's price will be reduced by 20%.

BTW, It's better to wait for Bulldozer and I think they have some serious performance boost under the hood ;-)

when it's business everything has a purpose and due to AMD's delays intel has delayed the release of their several cpus ;-)

InsideHW - Sandy Bridge line-up gets more CPU models

Intel has taken a wait and see approach to the AMD's upcoming Bulldozer cpu line up and is readying their cpu arsenal to compete with every Bulldozer models possible ;-)

:tut: :tut: too many SKUs, and all they mention in the ads is Intel 2nd Generation Core processors!

All people get the el-cheapo non-turbo processors for the highest price.
