No! Socket AM2 is the DDR2 939-pin Athlon64 desktop replacement.
Socket F(1207) is DDR2 the 940-pin Opteron server replacement.


Same crap, different pins. The change simply allows AMD cpus to use DDR2
memory, nothing more.

Getting off topic now but I'd submit to you that a 1207 pin vs 940 pin
is setting up for the access requirements of quad core something that
AM2 is not going to be capable of hence quite different indeed.

Nope. Quad core is internal connections between cores - not external.
So you don't need extra pins to support quad-core vs. dual-core.
