So i'm going to a technical type school for a technical program taking a technical class because i have too, now i should have tested out but it was my fault for not making the correct contacts last month for it.
So anyways i'm in this class Computers math and the internet (i know it'll be a breeze for me, the final project is putting a pc together on paper under a budget) so anyways todays lecture was about CPUs and some other stuff so i was already good and ready to hear all of the pc propaganda.
anyways he gets into the cpu's and starts talking about intel's skt478 being the biggest socket right now, although imo i think theirs would be the lga775 but thats not worth arguing over, so then he talks about how bent pins kill cpus and yea it's half true but i have read OCF stories about fixing bent pins and even getting cpus to work by putting broken pins within their correct hole.
So then he gets to talking about amd and their most recent sockets for the 64's and he mentions the 754 then goes on to talk about 939 and how it runs the normal line of those processors, the FX series, and the opteron series. ok thats not right i figure i'll just mention it on break. so break comes and i say something about opteron being on the skt940 being that the extra pin is the multi-processor capability (i believe thats what i read, and it sounds logical) then he's like yea they used to be but they've all migrated to the 939 and that 939 processors will run on a 940 board (now this i am unsure of but the safe bet is that he doesnt know ****) Now i have been behind the times in the proc realm so i figured maybe it was true then i searched newegg for a skt939 opteron to get 0 results....
to make a long story short like the geeksquad this man will be on my list of people i will argue any point that i'm 100% sure they've got wrong.
