Many IT departments, and many home users and enthusiasts have a huge investment in memory and motherboards, and migrating to DDR2 just for the sake of some fractional performance game is a HUGE mistake on the part of chip manufacturers.
This is particularly true of AMDs moving from Socket 939 which is still very popular with the public, to AM2, and the move in my opinion is downright suicidal. Quite frankly, a lot of people are getting fed up with these tactics of playing musical chairs with CPU sockets and memory sockets.
Upgrading your system to a faster processor should simply be a matter of buying a faster processor, with more cores, and popping it in. But with the move to AM2 and DDR2, not only per system do you have to buy a new processor, but a new motherboard AND memory as well. This is rather incredulous.
What consumers and IT professionals want, is for both Intel and AMD camps to get together, and agree on ONE SINGLE SOCKET DESIGN, FOR BOTH CPUS AND MEMORY, that will last and remain standard for the next 50 YEARS.
Can you count on your fingers how many different CPU sockets are out there? How many different memory sockets? Its absurd.
AMD by moving to AM2, is basically saying, all the memory you bought, and the motherboard you bought, last year, is obsolete. All your DDR memory will not work with our new processors, even if you bought a new AM2 motherboard.
Couple this with Windows Vista DirectX 10 requirements, which say your DirectX 9 video card you also bought and shelled out $400 bucks for, and you can see how stinking mad most enthusiasts who bought high end rigs, and most home users, as well as IT departments that spent big bucks on massive new hardware rollouts... just how mad they are.
We're not going to buy any of the new hardware. We're just fed up with the lack of backwards compatibility of the new bunch of hardware, that in it self the company will make completely obsolete in one more years time. Who's to say, in 2008, or 2009, AM2 and DDR2 is yet again dumped for some other arbitrary "standard", that isn't a standard at all.
