z3r0- said:I'm extremely glad they went back to 4 hole mounting. Pressure and contact sucks with 2. That looks like a 939 socket and ddr1 board though
z3r0- said:No I thought AM2 had more pins... Maybe I just can't tell from the pics.
VulturEMaN said:1. The randomly placed 4pin plug to the left of the processor hole has me angry.

rob2000 said:i wonder what speed ddr2 ram it will use cause i see a lot of current sticks cheaper than some ddr stuff.
Yeah, I think that's the biggest advantage to M2, the FSB goes from 200 to 333.Raudulfr said:"Socket M2 processors will support Dual Channel DDR2-667 memories with a low latency of CL3 and HTT is raised from 200MHz to 333MHz."
topaimz said:hmmm, would M2 socket mobos have true x16 PCIe slots?
Like in A8N32-SLi mobos? (total of x32)
Or am I wrong? I thought tru x16 slots allow the cars to run at x16
in SLi mode, instead of them being limited to x8.
Or is it that its just allowing x16 for two cards when they are in the
PCI-e x16 slots, with out SLi?
Yoshiyuki Blade said:That would actually be better for people with PSUs on the bottom of the system. Fortunately, my PSU's 4-pin connector is long enough to reach the 4-pin plug on the asus a8n32sli deluxe (which is at the VERY TOP of the board), but a lot of people without that kind of reach would have to get ugly extensions.
Carbon_Le said:The AM2 mobos are gonna be socket 940 right?
Pr3z said:People still use IDE harddrives?
Ctrl_Alt_Delete said:. guess we have to deal with ripped out chips for another gen on the AMD side.
troisanh said:I am happy with what i have, lets see how AM2 stacks up against DC.
mavalpha said:Physically 940 pins, but a different set from ECC (early Opteron+FX) 940. Current 940 chips will not work in AM2 boards.
MrWizard6600 said:yea but now thatcha think about it this sounds like a job for asus...
they converted the origonal pci-looking slottish thing of a socket to a 370 or w/e it was. yea. im betting they could make a daughter board that would do the same thing. but it would definatly not do aswell as the ones ment for socket AM2. but it would be nice for those who would like to transplant a high FX series.
and what the hellel is DC? direct current?
