if you write two socket AM1 board chances are people like me are going to think "oh a AM1 board that we can put two CPU's on that's nice"

When will processors for these boards actually become available?

The proper phrase for that would be "dual socket".

Later this month and early April.

If you run one of these with 16GB of RAM, you could run a RemoteFX compatible server off of one of these setups.Do any of the AM1 boards support OC'd RAM?

Typical Microsoft, late to the party and now trying to make up for lost time. I'm not saying Windows Phone should have been free from the beginning, but Microsoft should have wizened up years ago when they saw their market share stagnating.

I clicked on this thinking there was going to be a dual-socket AM1 MoBo, much deceived

AM1? isn't that Socket 939? lol

The proper phrase for that would be "dual socket".

Since when has Tomshardware ever cared about proper terminology?

Definitely Budget setups as they only support single channel DDR3, seems like a legacy upgrade. They even support XP 32.
Still, I just want to build one anyway.

I thought the same thing, but the lack of a hyphen should have clued me in.

Guess I too have to bow my head in shame and admit that I too initially thought it would be a dual-socket board.
