I'm not going to be buying a computer for another 5 months or so (money issues) and I was wondering when it is released, how much it will cost and what motherboard I should get.
It hasn't been announced as to when the quad core bulldozers will be released, but it is not looking like they will come out with the 6 and 8 cores, based largely on rumors - no official word from AMD, to my knowledge. Any motherboard with 900 series chipset is a must, to get the most out of the CPU. I've been using the MSI 990fxa-gd80 for a few months now, with a Phenom II x6 1100t and absolutely love it. Asus and Gigabyte would also be top brands to look at. Prices have not been officially announced, but for the 8-core bulldozer, we can expect them to sell between 220-280, from all the rumors circulating. Quad cores most definitely will be sub-200$ price range, say roughly 120-150$ range, would be my guess. Again: no official prices have been announced, to the best of my knowledge. It is official, however, that Bulldozer's first parts will be released sometime in October, so we will know more in a few weeks!
