With 939 I simply jumped up to the AM2 board now seeing a 3ghz cpu. The large increment in cpu clock speed is one thing AMD still sees a lack in there. At one time the work for clock cycle gave them the edge. But for the next build in mind since the quads were late will be a wait for an AMD quad seeing over 3ghz.
The simple jump from 2.2 to 3.013ghz made a big difference like what was seen some time back working with the older Atholon XPs. The move then from a 2600+ to a 3000+ and 3200+ just that .2ghz plus seeing 400mhz over 333mhz for the fsb made hte difference.
At this point 939s are becoming like Socket As and 754s simply gone from the feasible list. I have to agree with 2048Megabytes there on choosing wisely in saving for the eventual next build seeing a much faster system there rather then a quick waste.
