Problem with phenom x6 (or intel i7 980x) is that a great number of motherboards don't support them, at all, even with a BIOS update.

You wont be likely able to just upgrade to either one 'on the fly' either. My mobo cost $250 and it only has scheduled support for 6 core i7 processors in late 2010 (by BIOS flash)

Other than that, it could be a viable purchase. Can't go wrong with $300 and an unlocked multiplier on the new phenom. So far only read positive reviews about it as well. It could be an alternative to buying a i7 920 and oc'ing that.

Most mobo vendors simply haven't provided a bios that supports them yet. They're brand spanking new and have 6 cores, what do you expect?

A core 2 quad will go in the same 775 socket a pentium 4 processor uses. Doesn't mean it can boot or even go to post screen at all.

Motherboard BIOS has a predefined set of dozens of accepted processor types. If not supported (or modded to do so) you simply can't use it even if it fits down to the last pin. Even if you somehow managed to make the BIOS boot on uncompatible cpu chip, it can cause system failure, overheating, unsupported fsb frequency, etc.

You can find a lot of information on this issue, if you search "cpu not supported bios". Socket compatibility is 0% guarantee for actual chip compatibility
