Yeah, you're right, AMD has only had three mandatory chipset changes in the past 2½ years, with the fourth coming in the next 6 months. And how many has Intel had in the last 2½ years? Oh that's right, they've had two that were mandatory. Wow, Intel sucks compared to AMD, don't they?
I'm not talking all about sockets...Its upgradability that matters...If AMD can just drop in Phenom(AM2+) on AM2 mobo then why can't INTEL do that..??? If AMD can make future Phenom(AM3) have DDR2 & DDR3 on the same chip so that you can drop in any time on any AM2+ mobo then why can't intel do that...???
It's ok that intel change socket for nehalem but a 3 socket for 1 the same processor is absurd...Why can't they make a nehalem with that supports both DDR2 & DDR3 so that if you ugrade to a DDR3, you wouldn't have to change both mobo & processor (you can simply buy a DDR3 mobo for nehalem & DDR3 ram but retain the processor)..??

I can go to newegg right now and buy a motherboard that is capable of running intel chips from Pentium 4, Pentium EE, Pentium D, celeron D, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and have future support for 45nm C2Q.....What does amd have to offer of similar longevity?
yeah they did not change socket but they require diffrent revisions for C2D..
I bought Pentium D 805 before and MSI 945G but as soon as C2D came out, its not compatible because it needs revision...where's the upgradability in that..??
Also bought Gigabyte 965P-S3 for my C2D 4300 before but the revision is not compatible with 45nm Peryn..so I just recently upgraded it to Asus P5K and currently waiting for Peryn..
