Socket AM2 supports DDR2 memory but not DDR memory, which the previous Socket 939 supported. AnandTech reported that Socket AM2 system performance was up to 7% faster than Socket 939 equivalents, with most applications about 2% faster [2][3], despite having over 30% greater memory bandwidth due to DDR2 support.

Thanks for the quick answer. My MOBO is DDR2, I can't figure out why my MOBO with an AM socket says it will run an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+ up to 65W when they are all AM2 socket. M2N68-LA is my MOBO.
Nvm, I just reread specs on my MOBO and it says I have an AM2 socket, I knew something wasn't adding up.
