[mdlug] OT: AMD cpu form factors

[Rich Hughes]

No such beast exists. All AMD 64 X2 are Socket AM2 with a couple of 
Socket 939. The Socket 939 X2 were so expensive, with the huge amd price 
drop over the last few months it is cheaper to get another motherboard 
and processor combo. DDR2 is cheap now as well.

If I recall correctly the fastest Socket A chip is an Athlon XP 3200.

The ebay chips sound shady.

Thanks,
Rich
