 Does anyone know for sure what the limitations may be of using AM3 boards instead of AM3+ ones? I've read something along the lines of voltage adjustment for power savings not being as good along with something related to Hyper Transport speeds.

Apple make a big deal out of their relationship with intel, and intel do make better cpu's for the time being, i don't see them switching soon, unless AMD literally blows intel clean out of the water.

I'm imagining this involves AMD hiring Xe to blow up ships loaded with Intel chips on their way to Costa Rica and Vietnam for assembly.
