Just wondering.
I know the fx and Athlon64 are now out
so will the 3200 barton be the top of the line for this mb ?

thanks

If AMD release another Barton it'll work, but I'm not expecting them to be
able to get much than 2.2GHz out of the Barton core. I also don't think
there are plans for another core for that socket (Barton die shrink and/or
SOI would be ideal for more speed).

its all fx and athlon64 from here..
still a 3200 with the right subsystem is a hell of a machine..

It might be, but AMD have specifically said they will be supporting the
Socket A for (IIRC) Q4 2004, so who knows what might be in store for us?

I think so, if you want top end.

Indeed it is, top end is not going to be necessary forever. You am I trying
to kid? :-P
