Its not a server/desktop thing, its a new socket that will allow AMD to use DDR2 memory. It applies to both Athlons and Opterons.
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.

What does that mean? "Same Crap"? I was giving accurate and correct
names of the sockets and that there are two different Opteron rev.F
sockets.

Correct, however in the original discussion i stated that i hope some new chipsets will appear when the new socket is introduced, which adds DDR2 support. Then someone started nit picking about the naming of the sockets.
