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.

PGA462 = socket A

*******es here at work trying to tell me that Socket A is different from 462!!! Ugh! I knew i was right.

Thanks Trotter for confirming that for me!

However you will not be able to run two Socket A Athlon XP's in the board.

You need special different processors. The Athlon MP (I believe)

That's exactly what i have... two Athlon MP's.
