NH just published our preview of Socket AM2 and Athlon 64 X2 5000+. They take a closer look at the DDR2 support and compare the new platform with its predecessor, Socket 939. They also find out but some disturbing problems with the memory dividers.

Quote: Not only did AMD keep DDR1 alive, it was encouraging the evolution and density of DDR1. Now, however, the limitations of DDR1 were starting to show, at the same time DDR2 could now be had with fast access times and high frequencies. It was now time for AMD to enter the DDR2 market.
