i was .i waited so long and now im not sure i thought there would be more mobo chioces.
 
Well, sorry to burst your bubble but 939 realy isnt that great. The 3500+ has the same clocks at the 754 3200+, and less cache!! All it has over 754 is dual channel, and you wont notice it in games. Use the $800 you saved from buying a cheaper cpu and get yourself an X800xt and invest the rest in the stock market(AMD).
 
Are ureally ready to pay $500, and $169 for the motherboard and cpu, also you prob have to buy some new ram unless what u have is good enough, thats another $300 for duel channle memory 1gb,

With that cash i can buy a A64 3200+ 1mb L2 cache the 754 socket, with and MSI K8N NEO, and some nice pc3500 1gb kit, and a X800pro

Newegg has it and Socket 939 is great, but also expensive. 939 is the socket for dual channel, unregistered RAM and good overclocking but if you wait for prices to fall, I don't think you'll be dissapointed. Socket 754 doesn't support dual channel.
