Advice re: Conroe, please? Wait?

[Axle]

Wow, thanks for all the responses!

It seems the best thing to do is wait, and then look at not only the prices but the benchmarks... if Conroe really is all that, maybe I can scare up the money. I'll keep in mind what you said, though, Gautam; I've always placed more value in people's observations than graphs.

PS--Hey, Super Nade! I'm still using those books you sold me... I've gone Civil Engineering, but I'm minoring in EE, too. Good to hear from you!
