Socket AM2

The Socket AM2 is a socket found on motherboards designed for AMD desktop computer processors. Socket AM2 motherboards utilize a front-side bus (FSB) of 200MHz and support six AMD processors: Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX, Opteron, Sempron, and Phenom. These processors range from a single core to quad core, providing for powerful computing capabilities. Socket AM2 has since been replaced by Socket AM2+ and Socket AM3.
