 |  Socket A to blow its brains out in March AFTER YEARS of loving socket A platform, it's time to say goodbye to all those nice chipsets and motherboards based on it. AMD decided to pull the plug on this one simply as it wants to make a big deal out of the Socket 754. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=21377
