Question 1 above, haven't read anywhere you can't ... yet.

If you can these prices look better value than the AM2, or are the M/B mega expensive

All prices from scan today 2x 1MB Cache Retail:
Socket F (1207)
FX-74, 3.0GHz Core, £299.95
FX-72, 2.8GHz Core, £239.00
FX-70, 2.6GHz Core, £179.99

AMD AM2
FX 62 , 2.8GHz, £379.89
5200+, 2.6GHz, £219.95

But than again an Intel Core 2 Duo might be better value still.

Performance sucks...

Core2Duo spanks it

I think what David means is:

Take a look here for performance analysis.

ok forget the Core2Duo for a second ...

FX-72, 2.8GHz Core, £239.00 is alot cheaper that FX 62 , 2.8GHz, £379.89

But if you only buy 1 Socket F (1207) CPU will it work in a QUAD FX M/B (a board that is designed for 2 CPUs)
