AMD always depend the memory controller for the processor architecture... once the RAM have another new version, then whole memory controller have to re-design their socket ... I think this is the weakness of AMD, compare to Intel with discrete logic device on motherboard, thats why socket LGA 775 survive until now. =.=""
Smell like strategies in technology smarter than AMD. |

For IkanAyam :
Consumers will think changing MOBO w/o changing Proc worth better than changing both... IMO, Once AM3(izzit AM3?) released, socket AM2 Proc can apply at socket AM3(correct me if I am wrong) ? |

QUOTE(8tvt @ Jun 15 2007, 04:05 PM) lol.. what u trying to say actually? Means If u want to run ur AMD x2 with DDR3, then u need to change the AMD x2 which is AM3 platform, (of course MOBO also).  but for Intel C2D, U just stay back with LGA socket 779 but with P35 DDR3 MOBO. |

Saw this post from the link of Brother Faint that meaningful to consumer like us, I think we need this conception in mind as well ...
Source : http://www.dailytech.com/Final+AMD+Stars+M...ghardware.co.uk QUOTE Question: Without competition you will be paying 2 grand for high end cpu's and 1k plus for video cards in very very short order. 1)Yes competition is essential for higher quality products & lower prices. 2)For us the buyers we need an a market, where the market share of the 2 companies should be-(Intel)70% (Amd)30%. In such conditions the buyer always stands to gain to enable you get higher quality products & lower prices. 3)EXCESS of competition & LACK of competition is BAD for us-we the buyers, the ULTIMATE DECIDERS of market share for these companies should maintain the above RATIO !(70 to 30). 4)Higher quality products & lower prices is an incentive or motivator for buyers/users/consumers to UPGRADE. 5)The lack of incentives to upgrade, means people simply dont upgrade-thats all ! they prefer to make do with what they have & wait for prices to drop. 6) Example for the above is VISTA ! People are just not motivated to upgrade & prefer to make do with XP & prefer to wait.They simple DONT BUY ! But let there be Apples O.S. "X" (tiger/leopard) up for sale without the Apple hardware-Then watch ! If Apple sell its O.S. like M.S.-then see what happens- YOU will see real WAR-Intel/Amd style. We will get higher quality & lower prices ! 7)Just remember-People are not that stupid-If the prices are HIGH they simply DONT BUY.So Intel can charge in your scenario "2G" & Nvidia "1K"- result-NO BUYERS ! I am sure there are millions out there who say this- "I can live without a 8800 series card-Whats the hurry" So Nvidia can charge what it wants-NO BUYERS ! Summary-WE the buyers decide the FATE of Intel & Nvidia ! They need US more than WE DO ! |
