Yeah, AMD has a bad habit of changing sockets too soon. Socket 754 lasted about a year and a half and was replaced by Socket 939 which got booted after about 2-3 years. Now it's Socket AM2 and Socket F and just watch those two get replaced after another two years or so.
well it seems to just be amd
intels had the same slot of a while and there using it for a while as well
they make new slots for a couple reasons
most of the time its so you have to by a new mb
sometimes its because the cpu slot cant handle the data
but most of the time its because they want you to by a new mb
intels used the same one for a whilethe only thing thats changed is if your bored can handle the fsb
well i think and i think im right about this but with the new upgrade of the mobos is also going to bring up HT 3.0 which is at 3000mtsomethingsomething
So that could be a change for the better
And the new CPU i think WILL be backward compatible with the AM2 slot but will lack the HT 3.0
(i forgot my sources)
and the new slot type i think is going to b AM2+ or AM3
If im wrong plz say so and dont blame me
Blame the ppl who make stuf up
How the Hell are they using it to there advantage.............................................................................................................................................
I've always been more of an intel guy, but I'd love to see AMD come back on top. Oh well, I'll likely be going with intel for the superior performance when I get my next system.
