What's this all about then? How does it upgrade since the two platforms aren't socket compatible? Have they somehow engineered the socket to be pin-compatible with both, or would you need some kind of daughterboard or riser card? If so, wouldn't it snap off if you tried to fit one of the 600+g third-party coolers you'd need to high clocks and low temps? And what about the RAM? Will the AM2s be happy running on DDR, or would you again need a daughterboard with DDR2 sockets on it?Old Wino said:Asrock 939SLI-eSATA2 (Socket 939 & Upgradable to AM2) PCI-Express - 52 squid (+ upgradabubble to AM2)
Old Wino said:BTW the reason the PC was swithed off was because of a power cut we had a few hours ago but as the symptom is the same as has happened before (when I have turned it off myself), I don't see why it should be significant
It says 'Upgradable to AM2 socket with AM2 CPU Board (Not included)' here - maybe it's a typo..What's this all about then? How does it upgrade since the two platforms aren't socket compatible?
