For a while computer parts seemed to stabilize, in the sense that two major processor socket types have been unchanged for a long time, Intel LGA 775 and AMD Socket AM2. They both received minor upgrades to the FSB and manufacturing process compatibility (90nm, 65nm and then 45nm), but the basic structure...

AMD was always careful to offer cheap upgrading possibilities for users who don’t want to change their whole system at once. After failing a couple of times (socket 754 and 939) the AM2 socket was born. Since then each new generation of processors has been released with impressive backwards...
We don’t see computer hardware parts very often that we can qualify to be ready for the next generation. In the world of motherboards, Intel used LGA775 socket for a few years, and it was acceptable. While FSB (front side bus) speed was first 533MHz for Celerons and 800MHz for Pentiums, it got upgraded...
