I am about to buy an athlon 64bit processor, which according to dabs is socket 754.
I am also looking at the asus a8v motherboard. The review of this board states that it is suitable for socket 939 athlon 64 fx and althlon 64 chips.
Im confused. The socket layout of these sockets look completely different. How is it that the asus board can support athlon 64 whenit has a socket 939? does the athlon 64 bit processor come in socket 939 and 754 variations?
please help!
