arguing over cpu's is such an insignificant part of my life now.

Oh man, how we missed you. Your insightfull comments on things like melting prescotts motherboards, POS fragile s775 boards, worthless and unavailable 64 bit clones of the real thing.. you know all that. Intel needs you now metly, more than ever. Don't give in now, you can always have a life later on.

u know intel told me the reasoning behind the pins being on the board was so if u do bend one u bend one on a $100 board not a cpu that generally costs more than that. makes sense once u think about it. btw i'll let u guys know how many times i can reseat the f*cker when i get one in.

Hmm.. and you think the burden of RMA's, packaging and handling the fragile part that will now fall onto motherboard oems instead of intel didnt play a role ?

Well, I have to admit you have a point though, even though I very much prefer replacing a cpu than a motherboard.. So much less hassle.

If this socket increases the amount of times people have to RMA a part becaues of bent pins...
How do you think the cost/hassle of several people replacing their boards vs only a couple people replacing their CPUs compare?

Then maybe Matisaro is not far behind. I miss his discourses. too. Mat and Melty could spice up this forum once again, perfect analogy of ionic bonding.

Though I'm years late in registering, I've been a regular client of THG, back to its sysdoc.pair.com days. When Tom was single, finishing his MD, these pages had no ads, no forums, Tom wrote columns, Tom fought mighty Intel but praised Triton as the most successful chipset, Anand was just another teenager so impressed with K6 that he built up his own site to showcase his first review, when AMD and Intel shared the same Socket 7 platform.

if its nto confirmed, then all the mobo makers must be out of thier minds then, cuase all ive heard is taht many of them are groaning about the fact that replacing the cpu more then a couple times leads toa big risk of failure. they must know something or they wouldnt be so open about that. but in the long run, im sure it can be corrected, if it indeed is a problem. unless intel just decideds to leave the mobo makers out in the cold to deal with it on thier own.

besides picking your nose and examining underneath your fat folds for yeast, what else have you accomplished in the past month?
