I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

No, but it's not too difficult to put two and two together... ;)

AMD + DDR2 = AM2
AMD + DDR3 = AM3

Logic would dictate that s939 on DDR1 would have been (drum roll) AM1, if the naming scheme existed back then. The alternative to the 'AM' nomenclature would have been to continue the pin count naming scheme, but there's an obvious confusion factor in referring to AM2 as socket 940.

AMD has never officially stated that AM2 means AMD+DDR2...its just easier to remember what AM2/AM3 are that way.

AM2 right now is a sunk cost until AM2+ (AM2 Plus) comes out in mid 2007 with HTT 3.0 support.
