Unless I am misunderstanding you, I think that is wrong. Since they use Socket 940, they are a drop-in replacement for "regular" chips. All that might be necessary is a BIOS upgrade (and kernel 2.6.12). http://www.sudhian.com/showdocs.cfm?aid=672&pid=2568 One of the most-talked-about features of AMD’s dual core product line has been its drop-in compatibility with existing Socket 939 / 940 motherboards. Now that products are actually launch- ing, AMD has reiterated that motherboards based on Socket 939 and 940 should be able to handle a dual core replacement once the BIOS is flashed to recognize the new processor.
