Im sorry, this is just my personal prejudices: If you are not getting an am3 mobo, and the difference between the two is only that one supports ddr3, and one does not, fsb, cooling, etc, is exactly the same. Anyway, if you dont plan on getting ddr3, dont get the am3 board, and dont get the 720be, the 920 is sooo much better/faster! Not to mention there are newer and better models right around the corner. I dunno, something about triple core processors makes me cringe everytime i see one in a sig.
