Actually AMD renamed Socket M2 into Socket AM2. Upcoming processors for this Socket: Windsor AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Orleans AMD Athlon 64 4000+ AMD Athlon 64 3800+ AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Manilla Sempr0n 3600+ Sempr0n 3500+ Sempr0n 3400+ Sempr0n 3200+ Sempr0n 3000+ With best regards, Yar On December 16, 2005 at 02:16:43, Yar wrote: >Opterons F - 1207 pins >Socket M2 (raplacement 939/940) - 940 pins >Socket S1 (raplacement 754) - 638 pins > >On December 15, 2005 at 21:37:17, K.
