Honestly, if the socket change is actually needed then i dont see an issue. If the rumors that AM3+ was holding back the FX Bulldozers were true then i understand if they change sockets in the future.

Otherwise a socket change would piss people off, only if its not needed...

It would make sense to me. Intel wouldn't be able to get to where they are right now if they did the same as AMD and kept lga 775 all these years. Like someone said earlier, preserving compatibility with older cpus will hamper progress whether you like it or not.
Changing would piss people off, but most of the time, people do buy a new motherboard with a new processor. I mean, most of the people here bought a new mobo in prevision of Bulldozer even if the one they had was still giving great performance.

I don't see myself buying another AMD system for a while so it probably wouldn't matter to me. That being said, I don't remember the last time I didn't buy both a CPU and motherboard at the same time. That's just my story though, I know some people on here keep their boards through multiple processors. I just happen to keep my motherboard/processors for so long that it's necessary to buy a replacement for both of them when I upgrade.

The only motherboard I've ever upgraded the processor without purchasing a new home for it was this UD3P I'm on now. I upgraded from a Dual to a Quad, simply because this was the best motherboard when I purchased it for LGA775, and it still was when I decided to double the cores.

If AMD came out with a new socket, that opened up the doors for some breathtaking advances on their product, I know the users would embrace it. You guys are the vocal minority. I mean, honestly.... if they came out with a processor on a new socket tomorrow that was able to keep up with SB-E when it releases, you telling me you'd HONESTLY piss and moan about it? Get real.

I already had to change motherboards every time I upgraded my AMD system.

939 ---> AM2 ---> AM2+/AM3

Their backward compatibility isn't any better than Intel. In fact LGA775 probably has the widest performance and product lineup timeline in history.
It's honestly easier to buy a new system every 2.5-3 years than bother with upgrading the old one, especially with Intel's tick-tock.

Would I be mad? Honestly, yes. I bought an AM3+ because I hoped to pick up an Bulldozer chip down the road (One that didn't perform on par with the 1100...)

But if they NEED to make a change because it's holding them back... hell, what can you do?
