Wait. The 940 pin version of the FX requires buffered ram. It is better to wait
for the 939 pin version to come out supporting unbuffered ram.

I don't remember where I read this, but it isn't due to be available until
December IIRC. Intel has released the extreme version for benchmarking
comparisons purposes only. They did this for the obvious reasons. Essentially
the comparisons are comparing a future CPU with a current CPU. This is not a
reasonable comparison IMO.
