wow.....never heard of this before.......could u support 2 dual core processors or no?

sry if it's a noobish question, but ive never seen this before :-o

I think you meant supporting two sockets, and I think yes you can. But I don't think you can use them at the same time. You can support two dual core processors, via a dual socket motherboard.

no... its just an upgrade...

it allows you to not have to buy a new motherboard just for an am2 cpu...

you definitely can't use two cpus on that board at the same time. only s940/socket F boards have dual cpu support. you must also get the series of cpu appropriate to how many processors will be onboard, e.g with s940 2xx series for 2 or 8xx series for up to 8.

o i c, that makes sense, but the downside is if u dont have that kind of slot, u cant upgrade without buying a whole new mobo.
