You might find a lesser board that's still alive after all this time but the A8N32's are still plenty healthy at this point. I had two that I ran OC'ed crunching 24/7 over four years (until I retired them for quads) and a third that's still running due to make 4 years solid this month running at load 24/7 the whole time. I've watched a lot of boards from that era, including the famous DFI Ultra's, go by the wayside as time ate away at them but the A8N32's are still kicking!
It's one of the best OC'ers of it's time with it's only real competition being the Ultra.
I think 939 was before the DDR2 era, but I might be wrong.
I've used an Asus A8V-Deluxe before and it wasn't a bad board at all.
Good to see there are other survivors!

If you can find one the A8N was also a good board.
314 FSB (system clock) not good enough? Mine just just just took a dump last month or so. Sad times.OC'ing a 4400+ with the Epox would be plenty but, no, 314 wouldn't have been enough for me. I've got two Opty 165's I managed to crank up to 2.9 GHz - 322 and 323 MHz on the clock. The Rev.G A8N32's started sputtering just over 320 so I avoided them and stuck with the originals.What about the Epox 9NPA+?
The LanParty's, along with other boards like the Epox Kowalski3500 mentioned and the A8N-SLI, were good, solid boards and work well for most s939 CPUs.
