[Solved] Building a new rig

Hello,
I am building an AMD computer, and I really want to use the Bulldozers from amd. my 2 questions are, how much longer is AM3+ going to last, and is the scheduling difficulties that the bulldozer series experiencing hardware or software?
the second question arose after I had spoken with a tech at an AMD processor plant, he claimed that the scheduler in the octa core was fundamentally flawed, and automatically scales itself down to 3.2 ghz when under heavy loads. if anyone could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated

the way AMD does their new sockets is that if you put in an old processor you might not be able to use the new features such as PCI3.0 or the newest DDR speeds. however you should be able to put an AM4 CPU in an AM3+ socket. so the AM3+ socket will do you no wrong for a long time.

currently the FX chips are still being outperformed by the phenom ii's with the exeption of the 8core version. a well overclocked phenom ii x4 or x6 will still game better than the new FX processors from what i've heard.
