And on an interesting side note is that athlon 64 5000 and fx-62 should be coming to socket 939, not just am2.(hopefuly its not just a typo)

That bit about 939 5000 and fx-62 is wrong, it WAS a typo on the AMD cpu summary

They'll probably build a new fab soon, I think the decision is supposed to be this summer. I know Dresden's a likely candidate, but there are one or two other potential sites, too.
