Re: AMD Processors?
The Socket 939 ones are currently out of stock.
If the price difference of going 939 is not too large, I'd take the double memory bus 939 over the single bus 754 any day - you do need to use dual DDR with the 939, and unlike the socket A Nforce 2 (dual DDR up to a single DDR entry point to the CPU), socket 939 is dual DDR all the way to the embedded memory controllers on the CPU.
For a FEW tasks, the older 754 CPU with 1Mb cache could outperform a 939 version with wider memory bus but 512k of cache.
Mind you, in the last hurrah of socket A, there are some quite decent motherboards for under £50 and a CPU likewise - it's a dead end platform, but then by the time you get to a worthwhile level of CPU upgrade, the socket usually changes anyway ... true, isn't it?
