During that period? I dropped intel because every time I wanted a new CPU I needed a new motherboard. Didn't use to be that way in the pentium II and pentium III days, but sometime mid 2000s intel changed. Sorry intel I don't wanna buy a $200+ CPU AND a $200 motherboard everytime thanks. My 6 core 1055t AMD uses a 4 year old motherboard and I'm thinking about getting a new motherboard for usb 3.0 and ten USB ports and 4x PCI-E x16 that can use the same CPU. It's nice not having to change both CPU and motherboard at the same time when you're happy with what you have
