Unless I am misunderstanding you, I think that is wrong. Since they
use Socket 940, they are a drop-in replacement for "regular" chips.
All that might be necessary is a BIOS upgrade (and kernel 2.6.12).

One of the most-talked-about features of AMD’s dual core product
line has been its drop-in compatibility with existing Socket
939 / 940 motherboards. Now that products are actually launch-
ing, AMD has reiterated that motherboards based on Socket 939
and 940 should be able to handle a dual core replacement once
the BIOS is flashed to recognize the new processor.
