<< Now that the Athlon 4 is here, the big question everyone is asking is "will it work with current Socket-A
motherboards?" AMD actually told us that as long as motherboard manufacturers adhere to the guidelines they set
forth, a motherboard purchased today would work with not only the Athlon 4 but also the Thoroughbred and Barton
cores. This means that the Thoroughbred and Barton cores will both be on Socket-A Athlons as well. >>
This is a stick up Intel's ass who somehow stupidly decided that they should abandon the current chipsets...and introduce a new one...for something that's about to be phased out. I just bought a black pearl hoping that there would at least a 1.2ghz coppermine...or even the recalled 1.13ghz...instead...they are both going to be tualatin...and my new bought mobo is going to be sold on egay. yeah...that's supposed to FORCE me to buy a p4...which will also be abandoned when the northwood p4s come out...geez...i should've gone AMD a long time ago...
