|  AMD in the future how long will the socket A last and what's gonna change? 1. what socket A mainboard's are planned for this year? 2. what's after the Barton's? 3. DDR II is delayed. what's going to change, together with the type of memory? 4. what new stuff is planned for the socket A boards? - onboard Gigabit already present on the A7N8X-E Deluxe - PCI-X? - ... ? 5. how long will my 2500+ and A7N8X-Deluxe last? I'm only willing to upgrade if the newer stuff offers me some really good stuff and the price of both CPU and mainboard is under 150€ 6. how low will the prices of AMD 64 (FX) get? when will they become standard in gaming PC's? |

 | as JMke says... it's dead before half04 we'll see socket 754 moving to lowend/mainstream and integrally replacing socket a. Prices will go towards 150-200 euro's socket 939 will take high end. (notice my correction some posts above :grin: )

| owkey, thanks. too bad socket A is dead, I've bought two ECS k7s5a boards, a 2000+ and a duron 1300 ah well. I'll work in a factory this summer, some money goes to my laptop for school, other half goes to a new AMD setup let's hope AMD doesn't mess around with sockets and chipsets as much as Intel does.socket A lasted very long and every single piece (except for SD/DDR memory) is compatible with other socket A stuff  by the way, what are the Paris and the Palermo? socket A or something else? |
