this explains why theres bugger all am2 boards in the market, everyones doing a burton to AM3, does this mean that AM2+ has actually sank, wondering if AMD are going to rate the cpu's at there upper thermal and operational limit like previous generations or include some headroom for the enthusiast market. Time will tell, but with the 4000 series of card performing very well maybe AMD have enough for one last push to finally try and catch up (or even overtake) intel.
Ras your spot on, next year is going to be very interesting indeed
