    What is SAM2?

    I was browsing for computer parts and I discovered this item:
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ BOX (SAM2)

    Is this about the new AMD processors supporting DDR2 memory? Or is it something different entirely?

    Put simply, it means Socket AM2.
    And yes, your spot on about about the DDR2 memory support :)
