I'm possibly interested in getting 1-2 socket 939 (must be dual core captable) systems in the next 2 months. If anyone is thinking they might want to sell within that time period, could you let me know?

Thanks,

Scott

FYI, all S939 parts are being End-of-Lifed on Wednesday, so there may be significantly more/better deals on the market in the next few months from people looking to upgrade as/after dealer stock runs out.

edit: The S939 X2 4800+ will be around until the fourth quarter of this year... which may be what you're planning on anyway.

I have an extra AMD machine that I've been meaning to sell. It's a socket 939 with Athlon 64 3000 w/ SSE2. It has 1GB corsair XMS RAM. I used to have the old Athlon 3000 w/ SSE, and was able to overclock the snot out of it (stable). I traded the cpu for an SSE2 version so that Mac OS X (Intel) would work without so many hacks.

Send me a PM if you're interested.

Justin

Buy.com offers the MSI RX480 Neo2-F AMD 64 Socket 939 ATX Motherboard for $52.99. With free shipping, it's the lowest total price we've seen by $3. This motherboard is based on the ATI Radeon XPRESS 200P chipset and supports AMD Athlon 64/64FX processors, up to 2GB DDR SDRAM memory, PCI Express, USB 2.0, Gigabit LAN, FireWire, Serial ATA, and RAID. MSI has more detailed specifications.

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind soon.
FYI, I'm probably interested in parts from the above listings, but not entire systems. My goal is likely 2 s939 systems that can be upgraded to dual core in the future when I can get those CPUs cheap. I won't know until after July 24th what I want, as I'm waiting for price drops. I might just jump to AM2 systems right away.

Gotta track down a local case supplier, antec cases are very expensive to ship!
