socket 754 and socket 939? Do I sound stupid when I ask why are there two

Socket 754 is single channel memory. Socket 939 is dual channel memory. Socket 940 is registered memory, meant for Opterons and the first AthlonFXs which have now moved to 939.

The 939 cuts the L1 cache in half, uses unregistered ram, and HT is up to 1000 Mhz on the VIA K8T800 Pro chipset. Yep, this all gives a not so exciting performance boost but will cost premium money. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...039TX1K0000564

So...
You buy the FX-53 instead of Athlon 3800+ if you have the socket 939... Same price, better deal!
