AM2 right now... 65nm, Rev G, Rev H, K8L, 45nm, 4 cores, AM3 forwards compattible. Yeah no more swapping a mobo out for me just to do a cpu upgrade. lol

Conroe is nice now but it can not compete with that kind of upgradeability. I used a E6700 at a store they demoed. Only 10% difference I felt at best from mine. In the real world sadly I couldn't tell the difference. BTW why is conroe in MY OC topic? This is the AMD area... I can wait for power. All I need is AMD. I aready have enough as it is. But when I pick up a K8L in 6 months from now. I'll be more then happy. Wow ppl who have AM2 can get all the way upto K10 cpus in 2008.
Is it only me or you are fast forwarding?

Rev.G (65nm K8) is due in 4-6 months.
K8L is due second half of 2007.
K10 is due in 2010 time frame.

K8L will be socket compatbile with both AM2/AM3, but will only run HTT3 on AM3.

K10 is so far out that no one has any official words yet.

Get your facts straight please.

I went with AM2 to be future proof and to have the features I like from them. I didn't get it to beat conroe or to perform like one. Thats all it has going for it is its performance. Not everybody is going to just jump for something with a minor difference in performance. Conroe isn't god. Even it has limits. Maybe if it had 100% performance difference then AMD's but its smaller then its cracked upto be.
1. Kentsfield (MCP quad core Conroe) can work on any Conroe motherboards.
2. I notice minor difference on Windows/Excel/DivX players from changing Athlon XP 1800+ to Athlon 64 3200+ AM2.

BTW, nice BIOS you got Wish someone done the same to M2N-E
