Which 939 Motherboard?
Having a hell of a time trying to figure out let alone find a 939 motherboard that fully supports PCI EX and 4200+ X2 AMD Athlons (1mb cache)

I'd prefer abit (not nforce)..... but that just doesn't look like it's going to happen.. (via kt890 looks good, but i'm not to into it atm)

I WANT a ATI Radeon Xpress 200 or better. But finding one is a pain, not interested in overclocking the CPU so it's not a concern.

And seeing that i've been out of the loop for well over a month and a half now, i fell behind...

Anyways, Who makes the Radeon Xpress boards today, do they full support the X2 Cpus?

I may order these parts today.

Yeah I'd have to settle for an nForce4 board if choosing today as well. They seem quite nice on overall except for most of them using a noisy chipset fan. Nobody seems to really have bet big on the ATI chipsets just yet, like how Sapphire seemingly doesn't even want to sell their current boards. Maybe the upcoming chipset will fare better on the market, next year or so...

Currently all xpress 200 boards out are crap MSI and Tul are the only manufacuters to date that have released a xpress 200 board for AMD, and both are crap.

Can you wait a few weeks to a month? Supposedly DFI and Sapphire should both have a xpres crossfire solution by then. Both will probably be enthusiast boards.

well.... i said screw it and got a 4400+ 2mb cache x2.... should be here this coming monday through to thursday.

Apon picking it up, i will decide on the current available boards, which may end up being a A8N-E or the SLI Deluxe version. Yes, Asus.....

slap my XP90 i've got sitting here on.... hook up my 520 watt OCZ Modstream...

Currently, going to run a X700 Pro PCI-EX 256mb (free).... at some point..... i will move to higher ground....

in any case though, i should be able to run just about anything (x2) much better then say a 1500+ XP Athlon polamino (spelling)

problem, i may have to run the big pig on little HD/Ram for a short time.....

DFI NF4 Ultra-D (Non-SLI) for me. One of the greatest (if not THE greatest) OCing boards made based on NF4 chipset and S939. I'm still waiting a bit on my new rig with a sexy 4400+!

Let me know where you're getting your X2's, because I'm interested in the prices.

The DFI nF4 sli is by far the best mobo i have ever used for the A64. If you like to tweak every little setting you will be in heaven lol. Amazing build quality from DFI; im really impressed. Of course if you dont need sli then the Ultra-D is the same exact board and can be modded to sli very-very easily if you ever change your mind
