I have only a newer errata handy, #25759 V3.79 from July 2009 but that 
covers all earlier versions.

It's right that Version matches JH-E6 00020F12h which is a S940 ( S939 
would be 00020F32h ) but
there is nothing in the document ( or i didn't see it ) telling me about 
pre_f.

Your suggestion matches my assumptions because i was able to build 
without FAM_F but i wonder still about

a.) why does it report Family 0x0F when it isn't ?
b.) why is the PCI-ID of the DRAM-Controller the very same like on a 
2220 (Socket F) ?
