No...not really. I'm done with that socket in terms of upgrading and buying desktop bits.

i have an AM2 mobo... the p2 is the first thing i wanted to put in it to replace my x2...
but asus have yet to make a bios for it, so while it WORKS, some features (C&Q) don't, and it has issues booting up (aka, you have to try a couple of times before it boots, one person mentioned hanging too).

AMD has replaced sockets VERY often, and the whole "backwards support" has remained purely theoretical.
