well, why i dont have thought that?it seems quite true also, many ppl switch to 939 when AMD reign supreme that time. and when dual core is becoming a norm, AMD starting to stop 939. and those with single core 939 dont have much option to upgrade, dual core 939 like a needle in a haystack. still remember i helping my fren bought 3800X2 in august last year,that time already hard to find one. more over, the price is high, the AM2 version is 10% cheaper. ppl who wanna upgrade,hv to get a new AM2 system,bt who will do tat since C2D is much better .

read more here.

yeah..i agree. If i would to change my mobo and RAM i would opt for C2D instead rather than AM2. But if X2 939s are widely available then i might just hold back my major upgrade and change my CPU only.

The problem now is X2 s939 damn hard 2 reach. Only can get 2nd hand 1 more easier compare getting brand new dude
AMD is in disadvantage situation right now

if for upgrade normaly now ppl will just choose C2D, compare the performance and price tag between AMD AM2 and Intel C2D, C2D will much more better. even now C2D use less power then AM2.

... so until now still using S939 processor. personaly i feel better spend on other like bigger LCD and PSU those price will not like processor and mainboard drop like hell even in few months time.

From the link:

Best line ever. LOL.

i think so, too many resources ($)

disappointed with AMD stupid move .

maybe they now put all time on the ATI R600 GPU.. i think soon AMD will bring something out.

i am gonna get back to intel thanks to amd for killing my precious 939.

me too the same..... may be DDR is the main problem...........

anyway an possiblity any motherboard producer will revive s939 motherboard............. my was sent to warranty already, if it spoils again.........that's it no more to play with..........

Yup
It's better 2 invest on higher wattage PSU then u buy all those dual-core or quad-core whatever
As we all know d price 4 PSU stand steady without drop much like those procs.
Chasing tech beats is never ending as now is quad-core then later will be multi-core

Huhu, hold on to you socket 939 then. Years after this, we can be the proud owner of AMD's most unloved and unutilised creation

hehe. i never touched S939. from S754 straight go AM2, that also because i don't believe in spending more than RM 300 on a processor.

ha ha, i think so, my both s939 all 2nd hand 1, zzz if buy brand new processor damn rugi lor! so for processor i always look for 2nd even if have 3rd hand.

jcliew: yap thats what i'm thinking long time, so next step is Silverstone OP1000 or OP1200 then 30" LCD. ... upgrade the processor still no in my list.

But those high-end PSU costs even higher than mainstrem procs thought...
Furthermore I still dun nid such powerful PSU rite now.
Wif my current setup a decent 600-700W true power PSU will do well

lucky for me cause first i want to try amd before c2c is out and i havw wait the amd 939 procesoor to drop then pentium c2c is out so i use the c2c

for those who already have amd x2 with s939, it's all working fine. No need to upgrade in short period of time. I must say I was lucky to have upgraded in time before stocks out of market. So far, I am pretty satisfied with it.

Congratulation for ur successful upgrading ur X2 s939
It's good dat u appreciate what u got here
So far X2 s939 still can last for couple years now. As u know actually AM2 is nothing different from s939 except it support DDR2 memory.

Using X2 in S939 should be fine,but in case later in future the spare part like mobo itself become fewer and fewer then will be very hard to get replacement already,that's the only problem.Right now also not really good to get those AM2 products are reviews showed that there was no major difference with the old socket.

I'm still at socket 754, was a victim of 939. Got a crappy motherboard that time caused me to sell the mobo after RMA and the proc while the socket was being discontinued. Now I'll try to buy smart this time. C2D in target.
