The only thing I would add to this is that in six months Conroe may be better than the current X2 unless AMD has something else coming out :laugh:

i dunno about you guys but how much wil conroe cost? you have to think about best bang for your buck and if conroe is closer to 400 than yeah get a conroe but if its like 650 or so than no get an x2 also the x2s will probably drop in price(again) when the conroe release date gets closer. so for right now id say wait

Yonah on the Aopen s478 975 board.

There's a desktop Yonah board? How much does it run?

edit: only found a german site selling it for around 289 Euros, I think?

Yow.

Granted, this thing is slated for a mid-March release, so it's probably price-gouging on an unintended early release or something. Anyway, it's called the i975Xa-YDG

Turion @ Socket 754. Mine runs passively on a DFI 250gb (ML-30, 1600MHz@1,15Volt, 800MHZ@0,825V), some of the new geforce 6100 boards will also support Turion.
