Nah, if you figure it out than only tell it to me. I would love to get rich fast .

There will not be a newer platform for BD, BD will make use of what's on the market right now. I'm not a 100% sure about complete backward compatibility, but BD will make use of socket AM3. 2 memory channels only in other words.

They might release a newer socket in the more distant future, one with more memory channels and aimed for consumers. Actually, I'm 100% sure they will launch a new socket in the future, but I'm not sure whether that will be 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 .
