Well, people don't exactly come to XS to talk cheap. This is XtremeSystems afterall, not MediocreSystems.
Its not ,extremeleyxpensivesystemes too.And a system can be xtreme in so many ways.You can cool even a sempron for example with LN2.
And what this argument does in an new AMD cpu thread ? I mean really ? Just because i dont have the money to dump 1.5k$ on a cpu doesnt mean i am not enthusiast.

Yes everything true, but joe sixpack usually doesn't upgrade just the cpu, if the pc is to slow they buy a new one. Thats one of the reasons why I never understand why people always are crying so much about a socket change... plus most enthusiats change mobo anyway when they upgrade the cpu, due to certain feature that come with new boards.
So ? Are we Joe Uninformed sixpack here or smthn ?And about mobo change, that depends, 890FX doesnt really give me anything besides SATA 6GBPS(which i dont need) to go for a new mobo.
I dont get your point totally, so its wrong that its AM2+ compatible ? It is not a good thing ? So its a bad thing ? How ?
