Why are people harping on socket 939? Was it so good that AM2 was a mistake? In anycase AM3 is slated to be released 2008, so I'd say for 939 users, get a new rig next year, keep the 939 as a backup system or file server or give it to family, but why whine about no option to upgrade? I would also guessed that we are all used to buying un-upgradable tech by now (just look around your desk or home) or am i completely missing the point here? Companies make mistakes sure, but AMD sure isn't dying because of the short lifespan of Socket 939.
