 Socket A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Socket A (also known as Socket 462) is the CPU socket used for AMD processors ranging from the Athlon Thunderbird to the Athlon XP/MP 3200+, and AMD budget processors including the Duron and Sempron.
The socket is a zero insertion force pin grid array type with 453 pins (nine pins are blocked in the socket to prevent accidental insertion of Socket 370 CPUs, hence the number 462).
Socket A is considered a discontinued architecture (replaced by socket 754 and socket 939), although chips and motherboards are still in circulation.

 Socket 940 vs. 939 - Review - Short-Media
Socket 940 FX-53 and Socket 939 Athlon 64 3800+ look identical and for the most part they are.
There is a cost of manufacturing advantage for motherboard makers to move to Socket 939 which uses a 4 layer PCB motherboard instead of the more expensive 6 layer motherboards for Socket 940.
This was not the driving influence for AMD to pursue Socket 939.

 Techware Labs - Reviews - AMD Socket 939 3800+
Socket 754 was and is the consumer/workstation processor, while the 940 is focused on the server market.
Socket 939 processors come in two main flavors: the performance-rated AMD 64 3500+ and 3800+ processors, and the FX-53 processor.
Although little difference can be seen between the 940 and 939 cpu and socket, the major difference is the ability for the 939 to use non-ecc, non-registered RAM, as well as the addition of a second memory channel controller for a consumer 32bit chip.

 X-bit labs - Articles - Meeting First Socket 939 Processors: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ and Athlon 64 3500+
This event is also accompanied with the transition of the Athlon 64 to the new processor socket, called Socket 939, which seems to have the potential of becoming a “stable platform” and live a long life as a solution for high-performance and mainstream computer systems.
On the other hand, the arrival of Socket 939 processors doesn’t necessarily mean that the currently-available mainboards for this platform are equipped by the latest fashion in technology.
The new processors of the Athlon 64 series use the new Socket 939, which is going to have a long lifecycle, and the processors themselves have obtained definite properties which, I hope, will be implemented in CPUs to follow.

 X-bit labs - Articles - A Secret Disclosed: AMD Sempron 3000+ for Socket 939 Review
A possible release of Sempron processors in the Socket 939 form-factor was rumored since the very moment when AMD decided to transfer its value processor series to the progressive K8 architecture.
Following this transition, the Socket 939 platform will move down from the high-performance class into the entry-level sector, filling in the niche that is currently occupied by Socket 754.
About 10% of all Semprons based on the K8 architecture were made in Socket 939 packaging in the first half of 2005 to meet the demand of leading PC suppliers and this percentage has grown up more by today, of course.

 AMD's Athlon 64 3800+ and FX-53 processors - The Tech Report - Page 1
Socket 940 processors require registered DIMMs, which are a little odd, a little pricey, and have slightly higher memory access latencies than regular ol' unbuffered DIMMs.
Socket 939 promises to address these problems by allowing motherboard manufacturers to make dual-channel DDR400 motherboards with cheaper four-layer PCBs, and by allowing the use of unbuffered DIMMs.
Socket 939 is well and truly incompatible with Socket 940, so there's no hope of running a 939-pin chip in a 940-pin motherboard.

Well yeah, when Socket AM2 comes out there will be really no reason for AMD to continue producing chips for Socket 939.
Socket 939 requires DDR so you could use what you have currently if you wanted to.
Socket 940 is for server boards, the opteron line (opterons are also made for socket 939 too though)

 ExtremeTech: Socket 939 Motherboard Showdown
There aren't a lot of Socket 939 processors out there—the vast majority of Athlon 64 CPUs sold are the Socket 754 variety.
Sure the Socket 939 chips are more expen-sive, but you can get an Athlon 64 3500+ for under $400, so that's no longer a great excuse.
Our guess is that Socket 939 chip prices will fall in about 3 to 4 months, around the same time Athlon 64 chipsets appear to support PCI Express (PCIe).

 More Hardware You Cant Afford: AMD Launches Socket 939
In contrast to the stability of Socket 462 which debuted in 2000 and has continued to the present day, AMD chose to launch a Socket 754-based Athlon 64 and a Socket 940-based Athlon FX (basically an Opteron of a different name).
The consequence of this, however, was that the Socket 754 platform was seen as an interim alternative similar to Intel?s Socket 423, despite AMD?s assurances that it would be supported after the introduction of Socket 939.
We?ve no word on whether AMD intends to release 939 speed grades down past 3500+, but based on their current numbering convention, we?d guess that such parts would be odd-numbered in order to avoid confusion.

 Socket 939 vs. 754
But it seems that socket 939 processors are slower than their 754 brothers, and they cost a hell of alot more, not to to mention other problems I have heard of regarding power supplies and BIOS options.
Socket 939 is the future of AMD as it stands right now.
Socket 939 has a few more kinks than Socket 754 because it is newer, but most of the problems seemed to be solved (most of the problems I've heard about are because of the new 90nm processors).

Whether it's socket 478 or the upcoming socket T, Intel has/will have mainstream-priced dual-channel processors for it.
The socket 939 mobos don't seem to be terribly well optimized yet, but doing so will only add a few percentage points to performance.
Granted, this is rather oversimplified and doesn't take into account the effect on socket 754 or socket A sales, but I think it very safe to say that such pricing (which as you can see is still very profitable for AMD, certainly more so than socket A sales) would increase overall demand for AMD products.

 Computer Technology Forum - Socket A --> Socket 754 --> Socket 939
the difference between the 754 and 939 socket A64's is minimal, the reason people get 939 over 754 is because it supports dual channel ram, is going to be used for a long time still, and all the new AMD cores will be released on 939 and not 754.
But socket 939 dual channel RAM, is with the cpu.
That would be the Socket A. And, imagine that you have another highway with four lanes but, you can also only go to 80MPH.
