AMD has fixed a date for the launch of its new socket, AM2, the platform formally known as M2. As of Tuesday, June the 6th, you will be able to buy these CPUs in the stores. AMD plans to reveal the CPUs at Computex.
DDR 2 memory should boost the Athlon's performance but we still wonder why AMD didn't wait a while and adopt the upcoming DDR3. Some memory manufacturers think that now is the right moment to move from DDR one to DDR 2 as the cost is almost the same, and with DDR 2 667 or DDR 2 800 you can really see the performance difference.

    Why is it every SINGLE time I buy an AMD processor, they release a new socket now long after *sigh*
    They're as bad as Intel now.
