So:

Upgrade boards only count for AMD.
The new CPU has to work in a first generation board, besides when AMD has an upgrade board.
New features should be supported by old boards, but not when "you don't need it", like dual core.

Might I ask why you start a discussion topic about an issue where your opinion is already set in stone?
