Anyone know about this any what the deal is here? haven't seen any socket F motherboards around but have seen mention of these processors.
 
The motherboards are available, had one for a few months now. Socket F was originally intended for workstations are servers with the 2000 and 8000 series of Opterons(which is the one I have) but AMD also put it into a prosumer board(Quad FX)(only Asus has one so far). This takes 2 dual core cpus oe 2 quad core cpus later on in the year. Reviews of the Quad FX haven't been too good so far tbh.

socket F was a server platform but AMD recently designed a prototype for use with FX 70 72 and 74 CPU`s, the main idea being as a "prrof of concept" for 4X4. as far as being a quad core system its not a bad effort but cant match a kentsfield at present, will have to wait for K8L for the worlds first true native quad core.
