Newegg has some AM2 motherboards.APM98 said:Do you guys know when AM2 motherboards will be widespread to the public. I really wanna build a comp asap because my current is crapping out. Or should I just go for 939? Thanks
mrjack said:They sell 'em already, you can find some on Newegg, for example the MSI K9N SLI Platinum Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI.

Monarch Computers also has the full (or close to it) line of AM2 CPU's, ranging from the Sempron's to the X2's. It is also the cheapest place to get them, even cheaper than NeweggCmoAMD said:Tigerdirect.com had the most AM2 stuff I've seen so far, they have the FX, X2 and 64 CPU's and a few Mobos.
The only real difference is that the AM2 motherboards have 940 pins, vs the 939 which has 939 pins. And the AM2 motherboards use DDR2, vs the 939 that uses DDR.LITHIUM said:so what can you use and not use on teh new AM2 Mobos?
I never said it was a 940, I said that AM2 has 940 pins.CmoAMD said:I thought it wasn't 940, its AM2. Just simular to the 940.
It's easy to get that mixed up. AM2 is AMD's new socket, Socket 940 is what AMD servers use.LITHIUM said:so the AM2 Mobos are 940 Socket?
