Because there are already TV tuners out for the PCI-E 1X slot so you don't need to have the PCI version. The market moves forward so fast that by the time you install something that just came out it is obsolete. Just like S939. IT was supposed to be around longer than it is. I still don't understand why AMD had to change sockets just to adapt to DDR2 other than to force us all to buy new boards too.
Because they have to use a completely different memory controller... and to maintain backwards compatability would cause more confusion than there already is...
AM2 = 939 pins, different layout
DDR2 is not simply a "revamp" of DDR, its very very different... normal 939 CPUs wouldnt be able to handle it anyways...
