When socket M2 Release?
M2 Motherboard have PCIExpress x16 and I can Buy 7800GTX and Use it with M2??
Socket M2 Motherboard will work with DD2 533 or 667 or 800?

tell me more about M2 ...
 
looks like 2nd quarter

it will use pcie, so the 7800 gtx should work in it. of course, that is a chipset thing and not really dependent upon the socket or amd's memory controller. it would be possible to make a socket m2 chipset and motherboard with an agp slot, but probably no one will do so.

it will use ddr2

it probably won't be any faster than ddr, seeing as how athlons don't particularly suck down bandwidth.
 
It'll come out some time this year, don't think there is an official release date yet. I'm sure they will have PCIe 16x..would be a bit silly not to since thats what all the modern video cards use. Who knows what memory will be supported, thats up to AMD, and no way to know yet, but I would assume 533, and most likely 667, but don't know about 800.
 
It will support DDR2 667 from the start. 333mhz memory bus speed. DDR2 800 would be great, but I don't think it will be there from the start.
