| I think DDR2 and DDR3 use the same sockets so with a bios update and a new CPU DDR3 should be able to be supported by current AM2 boards.

| The memory contoller is on the chip, so a new CPU will also come with Hypertransport 3.

But Giga-transfers does mean GB/s. I think its about time AMD switched to a LGA socket. Its cheaper to replace a $100 motherboard than a $300 processor. | |
