He speaks the truth. AM2+ will continue as AMD's flasgship and is compatible with most old AM2 and new AM3 motherboards. Also, AMD processors are getting cheaper all the time. Take my black edition 955, £200 three weeks ago and now £146.00 (eBuyer).

But at Mr.Android, I'm sure I saw on BBC that Intel is being fined for unlawfully ruling out competition from AMD by paying companies to sign contracts with them forcing their chips into PC's. They probably have begun driving AMD into the ground.
