    You either didnt know,or you knew and said otherwise.

    What it however strictly shows, is that you wont say anything that is not in line of current AMD policy on said subject.I understand that.Other people should too.

    Well were you wrong ?It seems you clearly were wrong with statements that there is no way AM3+ cpu will work on AM3 board (and yes ,you said that).
    You have to understand too, that when you say "AMD will not support AM3+ cpus on the AM3 socket" to everyone that isnt a cynic means it wont happen and is not possible.Its a gray area of telling the truth that isnt the whole story.Most of people here me included understood your statements as:
    BD is so much different from our previous cpus we werent able to make it compatible with AM3 socket.

    And that,is just not true as we have learned.
    It means your every statement has to be looked at every angle to make sure it means what it looks like at first glance.Which means that most of it cant be taken "as is".

    I dont like when companies treat me as a sheeple.Intel is doing it constantly, AMD less so.But in recent 2-3 years, its more secretive than the CIA.I cant plan ahead my purchases, cause i dont know anything until its DONE.Intel is much better at this,downside is that you mostly know that youre gonna be screwed, just in advance ;-).
    If i would know for some time that i could buy Am3 board that will support BD , i would do so.Now i wont.I`l just wait and see ,cause i know that current SB mainboards will support ivybridge.AMD wont tell anyone anything about the future that AM3+ has (if any).
    If asus produces mainboards compatible with am3+ for some time now.Everyone could.And thats a failure on AMD`s part.And we probably will never know as to "why".
    Can you tell us some good reason why AMD has to lie about it. I mean if there is a full support for Bulldozer on AM3 board it would only sell many more Bulldozers, which is win situation for AMD since they need better market penetration. It would have also sell many more AMD Phenoms if there was such support and there was no need to wait for the AM3+ boards, so it would be pretty stupid for AMD to lie about it.

    The ASUS BETA BIOS for some mobo is hack and nobody knows how well it will work.

    So just maybe you should take it easy with your accusations about lying and the other speculations.
