They were? Do you know for how long LGA775 lasted? It was Pentium 4 when LGA775 was available. And up to Core 2 Quad series. So that's light years from "on each CPU release"... And then they started with LGA1156 and LGA1366. And now again changing just 1 pin because of what?!?!?!!? That's just stupid, why don't they just solder the CPU on a board in such case, it would make absolutely no difference if you have to change it anyway.

I like the way AMD is going at the momemnt. AM sockets are quite compatible between eachother and that's good.
