OK guys!!! I did read the reviews on Phenom II 920 and was impressed a lot!!!

Seriously man I gave up following AMD technology since 2 years and man this is something they come back with!!!!

I'm now seriously reconsidering my options with Phenom 920

Hence, I'd really appreciate if you ppl can also advise me a good MoBo considering ASUS M3A79... Are there some good MSI & Gigabyte options available??

I'm willing to extend my budget upto 18K now....

For ur information Phenom 2 920 is DDR2 support , surely buy the 4GB DDR 800 u wont go wrong with phenom 2 !!!

Good news for u . the stock heat sink is upgraded on the phenom 2 it comes with 5 copper heat pipes & PHENOM 2 920 is GO STEPPING 1 proccy ,

OFFTOPIC:::
I know y u regret AMD cause , AMD marketing is very poor in INDIA as INTEL they captured the market launching the powerful proccies earlier and stable market with intel

One thing - AMD is very late in launching the 45nm proccy , but still the prices are gr8 on the launch time sure it ll reduce in no time !!!

As for ur 790G chipset mobo ,, sure u can go for the ASUS, GIGAbyte anything !!!

AS for mobo ASk DESIBOND for good selection in mobo or forum members , cause i am not aware of 790g chipset mobo cause some of them are not stable AFAIK!!

But whatever you do, don't go to buy a Q8200.
