can i ask you guys something?

why are "they" changing sockets again!?

why don't they make a, something like, a, socket 800, 900 or 1000 pins. and create an intel or amd universal sockets to last 1000 years or something like 2 years maybe? updating bios only, it would save people a lot of money.... ?!
 
Intel no, AMD yes.

Sockets don't matter, there are too many other factors. For example: AMD got a lot of credit for the longevity of socket A, even though you still couldn't use newer chips on older boards. It was more of a pain, trying to find out if your socket A board supported chip X.
 
would it not be more simple just making a board that lasts longer more intelligent with more resources, capable of handling more than what is needed now, so in the future you wouldn't so soon to buy a new one? why not upgrading the bios/cmos chip only, i am sure they could make money selling such a chip?
 
There used to be a socket where AMD and Intel worked on. But both of them want money. So its highely unlikely another universal socket wont happen.
