yea, 939 or somthing

this was an In-kind payment for building PCs for someone.

I'll really only be out the MoBo, because If I waited and got a 939, then upgraded to a newer 939 later, I'd still have to buy the CPU. No need to wait.

you can set the RAM speed in the Bios. the 64 doesn't have a set FSB either
