Motherboard upgradability?
AMD is just plain better.

Intel Core2 motherboards will support the two and four core Core2s. AMD seems to change their pinout with every generation, the A64 is on it's 4th socket, so it's doubtful that AM2 will support their 4 core, if it does it would be a first for them. This is completely wrong. Intel is the one that limits upgradeability...by the chipset on the mobo. AMD offers maxim upgradeability within each socket...Intel does not. I am a fan of neither platform in particular, but AMD is a far better choice if you are thinking of a faster processor in the future. Honu |

AMD has announced that socket AM2 will support 2- and 4-core Barcelona chips due out by June. I have read in the past few days that an AMD exec said that an 8-core version of Barcelona will also be available for Barcelona. http://amdzone.com is one of the best sources of info on AMD. |
