Doug, I side with Klaus on this one. Horus just connects to Opteron via HTc. I don't expect HTc to change much with socket F except maybe for higher speed (1.2/1.4GHz are possible with HT v2.0), and will at least be backwards compatible (because the 1GHz HT Opteron chips can be for as far as I recall be inserted in 800MHz HT Opteron boards too). So Horus is not likely to care that much what socket Opteron is in.

EDIT: I'm not entirely sure about my hypothesis though. I'm sure socket F when introduced will make use of HT v2.0, I'm not sure though about if it will use 16b HTc busses (like currently), or 32b HTc busses that are also specified by that HT v2.0 spec. That would explain the additional pins for socket F (1207 iirc).

Regards,

Rink
