Someone said that future AMD processors will work on the AM3 Motherboards.

IF I buy a Core i5 motherboard, will it work on future Intel processors?

they are both just as much of a pain in the ass on the socket change, I got totally screwed with the 939 socket with AMD, then there was AM2, 2+, 2+ compatible with 3, etcetc, so that's really a non-issue imo.

Actually, no. It's confirmed that the midrange (>$120~150) AMD parts in 2010 and 2011 will use Socket AM3.

so they say lol =)
