Should I wait for AMD 760 DP Dual DDR motherboard ?

Or go for Dual Intel Apollo Pro 266 Dual motherboard?

Do you need it now or later?

I've been waiting for months ...... and I'm slowly eating my savings ...

How long can you wait? Yes the chipset is announced, but they have had some cutbacks in their timeline... you might want to consider a single chip solution motherboard, and pickup another 760MP chipset motherboard later, and buy another chip to add in later too...

ddr ram won't have anywhere near as big an effect on the intel board as it does on the amd board, for the simple reason that a dual p3 still uses a single GTL+ bus to connect both processors to the motherboard, so its still constrained by GTL+'s 1.06 GB/s bandwidth limit, even with DDR ram. the athlon will use independent EV6 buses for each chip. EV6 already runs at 2.1 GB/s, so it matches nicely with ddr ram which can do that. also, since theres 2 EV6 buses, there could be 4.2 GB/s of traffic between the northbrdge and the processors. so theres no reason to wait for a dual apollo pro board, since ddr won't really help the p3. hope that helps.
