Oh ? daaammnnn you know its only like 1 pin different 
I would think that the after market coolers could be reused by some people but if it requires a new HSF then ouch...

lol I did too so I ordered a socket 775 Nforce 4 bourd some DDR2 and a 805D and I canceled my AGP upgrade when I seen I could get the same video card in PCIe for 100$ cheaper Nearly the cost of the CPU. I dont think it will run Conroe but at least its more modern then the northwood AGP thing I have been running lol AM2 and Conroe ill choose something after they have both been out for a few months (let the bugs get killed off before I spend real money)

Thats F not AM2. F is for opterons.
Ahh, I see...Been awhile since I read it

I heard something like that also that AMD is switching to the no-pins cpu design like of that of the 775. I think that would be nice and get rid of the broken pins problem.

They could spend less money making the processors. Make the motherboard manufacturers do it .

You dont get broken pins on the CPU but if a pin from the motherboard breaks you need to get a new motherboard. Motherboards for the most part are cheeper than CPUs.
The 775 sockets are ok, but I would like to get my hands on the guy that designed the mounting of the 775 heatsink fan. Does anyone else have issue with them or is it just me?

Yeah, I had a problem finding one that would fit on my abit fatal1ty motherboard. The stock actually wouldn't fit in *imagine that*. Ended up getting a nice big thermaltake tower :0.
Dude. That is so hot.
