Will AMD make a Proc. beyond the Socket AM2?
Everytime I go to buy new hardware something newer/cheaper comes out with in weeks of that purchase. Direct X 10 is upon us and it's time for me to upgrade. I bought an AMD 3200+ Socket 939 pretty much at the time they were released. Very shortly after, AMD switched to Socket 940 and shortly after that again they switched to Socket AM2.

What I need to know, before I buy, is will AMD be switching there socket right after I buy an AM2 Proc. and accomidating motherboard? I've looked at their websight and see nothing to indicate a Socket change but that means little if they want to keep it a secret for some reason.

Please help!

Phenoms will be on socket AM2+, which is basically AM2 but with different power planes for power saving. The Phenoms will also be backwards compatible with AM2, but you won't get the benefit of the power saving technologies

At least, I think that's right..

Yep snod got it... AM2 and AM2+ are completely compatible... AM2 cpu with an AMD2+ mobo, vice versa. And like snod said the biggest thing is the power saving, which will be a very nice feature

It's safe for AM2 for a while. Next upgrade will be AM3 and that a quite a few years off.

Years? No.. not that long.. but a good while still. But even just look at 939 it was still going strong for a while after am2 came out. It is safe to go to am2 atm.
