Ok fellas, i would really love to upgrade from my socket 754, but i am a bit hesistant right now because it always seems that when i upgrade the very next day new stuff comes out. So i am asking you guys when will the next socket for AMD come out and what new technology from motherboard, video card, and ram manufacturer will be available around that time. I am not asking for in-dept stats on the technology. Rather i would just like to know what to expect and roughly when to expect them from AMD, Nvidia, Corsair, etc.

Eh, if you worry about when to upgrade you never will. Find something that has the performance you want, a little bit of future options on the upgrade path and go with it.

well yeah, i understand that part...let me rephrase my question.....I would like to know when the next socket from AMD will come out. knowing this will only impact my decision to upgrade slightly. Sorry for the confusion.

The next AMD socket should be M2 which is supposedly coming out in either Q1 or Q2 of next year. I'm not sure of all the benefits it'll have, but I do know it'll support DDR2.

From my understanding s939/940 will be the standard for a while now from amd.
