I have a different idea.
If i want to change to new platform, i will change AM2

As all we know, C2D is much better then AM2, but C2D is much much expensvie than AM2

one Athlon 64 AM2 3800+ x2 is only RM360 however one C2D 6300 alrd cost us about RM680. Although C2D 6300 is better then 3800+x2 , but the proformance is not much different for normal user or gamer.

In addition, AMD will come out the AM2+ soon which also can supported by AM2 Motherboard.

If i change my platfrom to AM2 now, then i still can change to AM2+ later if the proc come out.

Yaya.
agree with you.

So, i think C2D can attract a lot of high end user now, however AMDX2 will also attract a lot of mid end and lower end user.

Frankily speaking , i am just a low - mid end user.
I will prefer Am2 3800x2 which can save me more than RM300 which can buy more 1G DDR2 ram or a better graphic card.

oh.. I just make a example when i compare AM2 and C2D.

yaya. i also saw this 3600x 2 in Lowyat.net.
The price is so attracitve.
Plan to get one but have to save more money 1st.

if i plan to change my platform, i have to change my proc, mobo and ram.
So, i think i have to plan it nicely

939 is using DDR RAM however all factory are concentrating in producing the DDR2 ram recently.

Once AM2 have launch, all motherboard company concentrate in producing AM2 motherboard because it is a new product of AMD that use DDR2.
All DDR2 will be much cheaper then DDR ram as all factory stop producing DDR ram. Therefore, new buyer sure will prefer AM2 If compare with 939.

Furthermore, Intel alrd standardize all their socket to 775 after stop producing 478 soc proc.

If AMD didnt stop producing 939 soc proc, then AMD will have three type of soc in their proc.

754 and 939 is old product, all motherboard company sure will not concentrate in producing it's motherboard.
Therefore, for proc that insufficient of ram and motherboard, AMD force to stop it.

This is my own stupid opinion, pls dont shoot me if u dont agree , but i really hope can learn something from u all .

ya, i saw a trader selling 3600x2 Brisbane 65nm is lowyat b4
but cannot found it now d.
anyone see it b4 ? can show me ? Thanks.

From what i know 754 and 939 have some different.
939 support dual channel , memory controller accesses memory at 128-bit rate and
754 support single channel , memory controller accesses memory at 64-bit rate

I guess may be some technical problem make AMD fail to produce S939 with DDR2, but it is just my guess , dont shoot me if i am wrong.
