The photo looks like it was taken from a shipping area of AMD's distribution center here in the USA. How long has Socket A CPU's been around? I think around 6 years back to the old Athlon and Duron days.

[Guest Flashstar]

[InvaderTrax]

[BrewMeister2010]

I'm still using socket A, with one of the original athlon's in it at a whopping 950mhz. At least until I finish my new rig, the one in the sig.

i just bought a 1700+ from someone

i know they arent at the top anymore but there isnt a game that exists that my ancient 2500+ and 9800pro cant handle. i may not be able to use high graphics settings but it plays good enough for me to school people with 3500+ rigs LOL.

Hehe, the people who are still holding those unlocked bartons probably still love socket A. Those 2500+'s doing 2.5-2.7ghz still just blow me away. Meanwhile, people like me that have the later week locked versions won't miss them quite as much

i got a socket 7, still using it (knoppix)
