So the 939 socket supports both current single and dual core chips, but when AMD moves to 90nm next year the M2 will replace it :(

So much for upgrade options.

GAH!!! Okay. So its a good thing i went with the 3200XP then going Athlon64.

THis is horrible for AMD. Compile this latest switch with the old 754 pin Athlon64 and you got a mixed bag of ass.

You could be on the INTEL upgrade path and require a New BTX case ;)

It's not like they haven't been doing this for years.. Its just from the sound of it 939 was going to be THE platform for a while.
