Another thought that I had that puts my trust still with AMD:

Check out the new Gigabyte boards for the AM3 architecture. They're AM2+ compliant, so you can buy one and use your current proc, and when the prices on the AM3's drop, you can swap it out no problem. Supports DDR3 RAM and everything.

It's unprecedented backwards compatibility that hasn't happened before. The ability to use either old-gen or new-gen CPU's on the same Mobo slot is just beautiful IMHO.
