BF2S Forums AMD Phenoms aren't compatible with most AM2 sockets

All of the motherboard companies need to release new BIOS's before the phenoms will work well.  Things should work out when that happens.

Even so, you're still back to just having an inferior product (that now works).

A real shame. I really want AMD to remain prominent on the market so there won't be an Intel monopoly (although I love Intel) and they can raise their prices to whatever they want.

This is sad but I wonder how drastically prices would get if AMD was no longer real competition. I don't think it would be as bad as you may think. They would still want to keep people upgrading.
