What I can tell you is that the 3700 is an amazing processor, clawhammer core, 1mb cache, runs beautifully.

You see your right, people say buy S939 as its newer and more Future Proof but all I am doing is Jumping from my Current Athlon to a newer one and then wont be rushing out and buying a Athlon Dual Core 4800 in a months time. By time I Upgrade again (years maybe?) we may well have Tripple core and god knows what else. I would hate to spend £500 on a "latest" system only to then find it not much better in real life running then the 3700 for example. The Less I Spend on CPU + Motherboard - the more I have left over to stick in a Faster Gfx Card such as 6800 for example. I'll leave it for a week or so, see what happens with the Prices and then do some Online Shopping I think..
