You are confused my friend. There is no such thing as AMD2. AMD is always AMD.

I believe you are referring to AMD Socket-AM2 architecture. AM2 is not a brand... it's just a socket layout name. AM2 utilizes 940-pin design, but not to be confused with Socket-940.

You could've find the answer if you do a simple search on the net, not just this forum.

Currently there is no specific good stepping for the Athlon64 series, it all depends on luck and your skills, and also depends on your motherboard as well.

A K8 will run faster than a K7 eventhough it's running at slower speed, this is due to the integrated memory controller system. There is no northbridge memory controller, the memory communicates directly to the processor.

And again... there is no such thing as AMD2.

DFI Infinity UltraII-M2 .... the most overclockable and non-headache AM2 mobo

Biostar TForce 550 is not bad too... however often got issues with divider.

sorry but your statement is a baseless judgement

anyway... this is an overclocking section. if someone wants to overclock an AMD, only discuss about AMD. if you want to discuss about Intel, go to Intel thread. If you want to recommend someone for Intel above AMD, go to Hardware Questions & Answers section.
