Otherwise get the PHII 940 I'm pretty sure you can put an AM2+ processor in an AM3 board but don't quote me on that. |

It is when they have NOT released a PHII 940 for AM3 boards yet and you want cutting edge so if you want to use DDR3 you will need to get the 720 or wait until a 940 for AM3 is released.

The answer for AMD right now is wait to see what april 6th has in store. |

but if you insist sticking to DDR2 for a while then go for a M3A79-T deluxe and a phenom2 x3 720BE..and a 4870x2 vga card..since the performance of the AMD7 series for AM2+ and the new AM3 AMD7 series chips are just "Almost" the same..and since AMD is promising the future to its coming set of Chips late this year its still worth a wait..
