Pshaw, Socket 754 and Socket 939 are passe; Socket AM2 is a 940-pin
socket designed for DDR2.  *All* new consumer-oriented setups will be
AM2 in the next 6 months.

Socket 754 and Socket 939 non-Opteron CPUs are almost totally gone from
the retail markets (but they'll live long on eBay), and (non-server)
motherboards will follow shortly.
