well the only real difference is that they will be switching over to ddr2... a more signifcant speed boost will be further down the line in my opinion.
socket F has something like 1207 pins and is therefore not compatible with socket am2 as it only had 940 pins (but isn't compatible with current socket 940 technology).
socket F will only be released for server chips, however i can see this being used for desktop computers in the future.
i intend to switch to socket am2 when i can afford to

so april-june of 2006 the new am2 will come out? do you think they are going to cost alot more than 939 socket boards? and what about the price of the processors themselves?, what are the differences going to be, only DDR2 RAM? is there a review online of this new am2 board?

are you kidding me? yea, theyre probably going to be wicked expensive. i think AMDs newest hard hitter is on newegg for like 1400, 1500? there are lots of reviews everywhere, magazines, newspapers, online...everybodys pretty much talking about them. the one thing that may confuse a lot of people is the socket. although it is 940-pin, it isnt the current configuration, so the motherboards/cpus are not interchangeable. but im sure you already knew that from the number of posts and threads on this topic.

basically, get a 939 system for now. rumor has it the chips will produce even less heat for the speed they produce, and the sockets will produce even more heat because of more power usage (speaking AMD M2)
intel has plans for a yonah chip though, pentium M continued in desktops! make that dual core, increase clock speed + fsb speed, it will outperform any athlon 64 chip! (even FX!)
