yb re:940 pin A64

Why do you think that a 940 pin A64 is any better of a gaming chip than a 754 pin A64? Do you think mobo availability or quality will be a problem for socket 754?

If it would be possible to run an 754pin A64 on an Opteron mobo using an adapter--why would AMD even bother with two different sockets? The processors are differentiated enough in RAM and HT link specs. Seems like one socket would make it easier for customers and 3rd party vendors. It sure seems better than having two (or three!) A64 socket types.

[EDIT: Thanks sgolds, I just read your earlier explanation. Seems a 754 to 940 socket converter would be unfeasable, though it really doesn't matter for my purposes.]
