As shown by the results of this post, among other threads,
939 Winchester, NewCastle
Winchester 939 is preferred over 939 NewCastle currently.

For further details about the reasoning:
Low PR 90 nm 939 Winchester (Sept 2004)


As of today, a 3200+ Winchester (week 0444 or after), MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Nforce3 Ultra 939 motherboard, TCCD based memory modules form a good price-performance AGP based A64 system, have good chance reaching 2.6 GHz or more, 260+ memory frequency, 2.5-3/4-3/4-x 1T. A 3000+ Winchester can also be considered for budget reason (read the above post for Winchester 3000+ vs 3200+).

If planning for a PCI-e system, then should wait a little longer until good PCI-e based Nforce4 motherboards are becoming widely available.

nah he has a 9700 pro, and will stick with it for awhile, thx for the help, my other friend got a neo2 also i had him by, a 3000 939 also, from monarch i believe, with that neo2 board, ill look for the specs on the 3000 chip for my oc friend. any sites actually say which core it is and version?

Theres a DFI S939 board coming out end of January if you are not in a hurry
