I knew something like this would happen. I knew it because this is EXACTLY what happened back with my old KT7 board. They released the KT7"A" chipset about a month after I got my motherboard, and everybody that had the "A" designation could upgrade to the XP series of processors, and I couldn't.
So I've been saying for a while now that AMD has no intention of sticking by AM2 for the next processor generation, and that people wishing to upgrade should either wait 'til said processor is actually released, or go with an intel. It simply didn't make any sense that AMD would stick with a 90nm socket when we all knew full well they were going towards a 65nm chip.
Here is the first indication that my hunch was right.
