WTB AMD Socket 939 motherboard

[cunokyle]

Looking for an AMD Socket 939 motherboard with at least 1 PCIe X16 slot and at least two 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets.


Thought I had one lined up but it turns out I do not.

Checking here before heading to eBay. Hoping maybe someone has upgraded over the holidays and has an extra one!

Price range...shoot me what you have and how much you want.

hmm.. didn't know you could get a 939 board with standard DDR ram... i thought they only took ddr2 .. i know you can get a board with agp and a PCI-E 16X slot... hmmmm

Cunokyle, I should have something this weekend after my major upgrade. I got a MSI K8N nforce4 board, it has 1x 16 PCI-E and supports 184 up to 4GB I believe.

That would be great! This is going for my wife's upgrade from a board with an ATI 9600XT and 512mb of PC133 ram and an AthlonXP 2800+. I will be using the processor and great vid card I got from Atomic Rooster and a gig of Patriot DDR ram. This will increase her performance playing EQ2 greatly and making the wife happy makes the hubby happy. Just PM me or reply here when you do your upgrade(what are you getting?) and let me know how much you want shipped and what for of payment you would like. Paypal, money order, etc.

sweeper2, yes, there are plenty of 939 boards that support DDR memory! My ASUS A8N-SLI does.

I am upgrading the ram, motherboard, and cpu.

I'm going from a AMD Athlon 64 3000+, MSI Board, 1GB of Ram (PC3200) to a Intel 2.4 Quad Core(Q6600), Gigabyte P35, and 4GB of DDR2 800.

Very big upgrade for me, and I will let you know asap about the board.

Yup, thats why I upgraded. Picked up a Gigabyte board that supports 4gb ddr1, an 8x agp slot, and supports all the latest S939 dual cores.

So...

$60 for board at ewiz.com
$63 for A643 x2 4200+ (2.2ghz dual core)
$115 for AGP 8x x1950pro 256mb

Huge upgrade over my s478 p4 with the x800pro, and I was able to keep my 2gb of ddr400

Edit, sorry for the hijack! Also, why is my avatar so huge?

Not to steal Njol's thunder here, but I was just browsing AT forums, and found this. Figured I'd pass along the word..

Entire Bundle 225.00
CPU, Motherboard, SI-120+120mm Panaflo, 1 Gig stick of G.Skill PC4000 180.00
ATI X850XTPE PCI-E 50.00

Bundle includes:
Motherboard: DFI LanpartyUT nF4 Ultra-D in great shape, will come in retail box with all retail contents. Will also include Tmod's bios cd
CPU: AMD X2 3600 bought on12/21/07 from newegg. I havn't played around with it at all so I am not sure what it is capable of.
Heatsink: Thermalright SI-120 with a 120mm Panaflow fan. Both mint, the SI-120 will come in the retail box
RAM: 1 GIG stick of G.Skill PC4000 with the black Heatspreader. Mint in the retail box.
Video Card: ATI X850XT/PE Video card works flawless. It has one problem, the fan controller on the card itself does not work. I plug the fan into the motherboard and it works great.

Not a bad deal IMO...

Dang, that is nice, but I already have processor, vid card and memory. I just need a motherboard for it all.

[cunokyle]

No longer need a board. Went ahead and ordered a new system for myself so my wife will be getting some of my stuff! Too bad I hadn't decided to do this a bit earlier! Could have saved myself some money!
