What the heck ever happened to BTX

[El Barto]

I was going to wait for the summer to build a new computer with a socket M2 AMD Dual Core processor with a Direct X 10 capable video card. i was hoping i could get a BTX AMD dual core processor/heatsink and a BTX case ( i know these exist ). is BTX stillborn with AMd or what?

AMD needs BTX about as much as a frontside bus. MSI made some prototype boards, but, it doesn't do a whole lot for AMD at this point. Later on, when BTX is more widespread in the market, it might make sense, since BTX is overall slightly better than ATX.
