To counter Intel's Conroe core until AMD introduces a new architecture, AMD will introduce a dual cpu socket for the AM2, that will feature two independent DDR2 memory controllers. I'm just happy to see AMD bring back the dual cpu socket plus adding dual core on each processor to the mix and you are going to have a rocket of a pc. http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/06/01/amd_dual-socket_dual_core_platform/ AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ OC 2.7ghz 2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200 Nvidia 7800GT SATA II 2x 200gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0 Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI

Finally some real "news" lol "2006/06/01" TMP-Man Asus P5P800-SE P4 506 @ 4100Mhz 1.525v Thermaltake CLP0024 w/ 2000RPM FAN + AS5 1GB Corsair 2-3-3-5 DDR400 40GB 5400RPM/120GB 7200RPM HD Radoen 9500 mod 9700 @ 375/600 CHS+RHS

Yeah, he literarily gave a radical new meaning to "LATE" breaking news......LOL Read & see more on the 4x4 gameplan.

This is as lame as Intel's surprise introduction of the "enthusiast-oriented" P4 EE back when AMD first released the Athlon 64. I'm waiting till K8L.

I don't blame AMD, it's not hard to get comfortable and complacent with the successes they've had so far especially when you consider their very humble background. The next 7 weeks is bound to be bustling....;-)

Well I know most of you would have seen this by now but it's for the ones that don't. I may have to sell my pc within the next year and go out and grab one of these bad boys. I can't imagine a dual cpu socket and 2 quad-core AMD Athlon 64's X4 processors. Overkill? Maybe for most, but with encoding movies, music, 3d rending and games then you need all the power you can get.

"Finally some real "news" lol "2006/06/01" That's real news if you have stocks in dell and AMD. Think outside the box. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ OC 2.7ghz 2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200 Nvidia 7800GT SATA II 2x 200gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0 Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI
