You know DaaG, as I read your post, a thought occurred to me. What if AMD is just playing a game? Seeing what the response is to n0 SR for AM3+? A ploy to see what kind of push-back they get from the semi-performance community?
I know their n0 SR has me looking at the fully adjustable Intel socket 2011 setup for my next move.
Anyway that idea, WAG or what have you just jumped into my mind. Hehehe.
