AM3 market

Obviously anyone wanting to have a Core i7 based system has been obliged to move up to DDR3, but we concluded by asking what kind of market Rhodes anticipates for these new AM3 boards.

"Biostar is concentrating quite a lot on AMD in 2009 and will feature it quite heavily at CeBIT. We have had quite a lot of customers asking about it," said Rhodes.

"We're getting asked for DDR3 memory all the time. You can get into DDR3 a lot more cheaply with AMD and the price/performance looks pretty good for the latest AMD CPUs."

Are you already using DDR3 and if not when do you expect to upgrade? Will you be going the Intel or AMD route when you do? Let us know in the HEXUS.community.

I wasn't thinking about moving to DDR3 until I specced up an AM3 system to compare to the CyberPower system you've just previewed. I was pleasantly surprised to find that 4GB of DDR3-1333 can be got for not much more than £70 now. That definitely makes me a lot more positive about moving to AM3 and DDR3 in the near future.
