Forgeting all the other points, there is one thing that tends to get overlooked that AMD does that is much better than Intel's solution: cpu placement on a dual socket board.

This is in general true, but I think Intel did themselves on very good one by keeping 45 nm Penryn family in the same socket, and evidently drop in.... this does not happen often.

Yes, and I have confirmation that my current SM boards will take the Harpertowns with the current available bios from SM site.
Got that from SM on the phone this week..
I just want them to add another 2 inches between the sockets so we can use some good heatsinks..
