Unhappy SocketA & PGA462

One thing is that i've never really understood the whole bit as to why there are so many sockets, what cpu uses what socket and so on...

so i'm a bit confused and need to get something strait!

I have a Tyan Thunder S2462, which supports the following:
• Dual PGA462 ZIF sockets
• Supports up to two AMD Athlon MP processors

Which is what i have, two AMD Athlon MP Processors...

is this a Socket A or a 462? Or are A and 462 the same thing? I need to get new and better CPU Heatsinks and fans as the factory ones just aren't cutting it!

Please help, thanks in advance.
