I guess I'll go ahead and give you the questions. This may be easy for some.

What is the name of the upcoming socket for the Opteron series of CPU's?
How many pins does it feature?
What kind of memory will it have support for?

Socket F, 1207 pins, and it will support Fully Buffered DIMMS, and possibily DDR3 in the future.
 
Correct! Told you it was going to be easy for some. :P Didn't know it was gonna be easy for Clutch, though. I guess you have been reading Wikipedia. :D
 
i have one i just wrote so i hope you dont mind if i take your turn clutch

(its really easy)
I was born, some time ago
When English men to work don’t go

There was another occurance this day
Something Down in Manila Bay

I spent some time in the orange state
Where electrical engineering became my fate

I’m mostly remembered for a law
But I gave the credit to Mr Moore

I wrote a book with a fella oneday
But he changed his sex and became Ms Conway

Who am I

I had read it on Wikipedia a week or two ago... I don't believe in just searching up the answers on the spot.

Hold on while I think of a question to ask.

Yeah apj101, I don't mind if you cut in and ask a question.

Carver Mead?
 
Here's a relatively easy and short question:

What is the current method used to fabricate the vast majority of integrated circuits?

To be a bit more specific, as the question might have been a bit vague: What method is used to etch the patterns in the silicon wafer?

Photolithography? Just a guess.

And here are my questions. (From answering apj's question.)

1. What was the name of the company Gordon Moore worked for, before he quit in 1957?

2. What was the name of the company that he started together with a group of people who also quit the company referred to in the previous question?

3. How many people were in "that group"?

4. With what name did their previous employer call the group and Moore?

You've both done your homework. APJ was a bit faster

And clutch my guess to your question will have to be, plasma etching.

Oh, I'm sorry mrjack, I forgot to mention that photolithography was the correct answer.
 
Continuing on my current theme of questions. Suits the upcoming event in late July.

1. 3 of "traitorous eight" decided to start their own companies, what were their names?

2. How many companies were started by these people and what are the companies names?

3. What words are used to make up the companies names?

And a 4th question, who invented the microprocessor?
