I've not seen a recent AMD roadmap and the I didn't find anything while searching so I'm putting this question before the fine people in this forum. Will there more models or is the latest FX also to be the last? I heard rumors that that's the case, but I want to be sure.
Kind of interesting if it's viable for someone like myself who's sitll on the fence whether to skip socket 939 and wait for M2 and then switch to PCI-E in the process or to go for an 939 with AGP (I have a 6800GT I don't want to part from quite yet) as an intermediate solution.
I'm currently on a 2500 XP and it is getting a little long in the tooth. I think I might go for the cheapest Venice now and then get whatever is fastest chip for socket 939 (preferably X2) in a year or so -- should still be fast enough, no?
Lastly, are there any inherent disadvantages to nForce3 and KT800 boards relative to their PCI-E counterparts, other than slightly lower performance?
TIA
