Doesn't matter, you'll only be able to upgrade with what's out there right now, as AMD won't release anything else for Socket 939 anymore, and with everything that's coming up, I suggest you switch.

DDR2 memory modules are just as cheap (cheaper in some cases I believe) as DDR modules.

You make it sound as if the 939 socket supply is near the end, and that AMD doesn't have something to release in 3 months to make the 754 socket an endangered species.
In 730 reviews, 5 out of 5 eggs. All for $135.00 {minus $29 = $105.99 stacking them deep, selling them cheep} and it's fast

His CPU has 5 out of 5 with 777 reviews. A nice lucky number, unlike the nVidia 666 SMBus drivers that cause BSOD on my board

Oh for fucks sake just buy AM2, you'll be saving yourself money overtime, as you next upgrade won't need to be as 'big'.

Comrade just becuase you got ripped off on your computer doesn't mean you need to go off on anyone else.

Uh, excuse me, but I didn't get ripped off, my mom even covered the extra cost of the X800XT she bought locally (to save herself the trouble, after the case incident) instead of buying online.

The only time I got ripped off was when I bought the case, it was a piece of shit copy of the original version and it's falling apart, but the power supply it came with is surprisingly good.

(the inner design isn't the same, it's flimsy as hell, the paint job sucks and the manufacturers are aware of the issue, as a matter of fact, most manufacturers are *I'm never buying such thing from Ebay again*)

If you think someone's going to stalk you by looking at your first name and age, you're a little crazy.

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

I don't see why you're being so ignorant about it. Socket AM2 costs JUST as much as socket 939, so why NOT get it? You won't admit it of course and you'll keep trying to go with socket 939 because you don't want to be wrong.

There is nothing wrong with using the 939 socket or regular DDR modules, They are as fast as anything on the market, and will be around for a long time.

I was wrong about the 939.

The AM2 is 50% faster, will last 20 times longer and AMD will never change their socket pin array from the AM2. If you get that computer for you're birthday it will only make you miserable. I was completely wrong about this 939 Venice core, I would rather have a celleron than this piece of shit.
Mascheif, abandon ship!! Run away from that piece of shit you have pictured. That computer will only bring you misery. Oh my God, I just noticed the 7900 GTX video card!!! I need to check with comrade and icedog about that model.

No one cares what you think! No one cares what comrade thinks!! And no one cares what I think!! I was just commenting on the computer pictured at the top of the page.

That's very unlikely. Listen When new technology comes along (DDR3 maybe?), the socket of the processor might have to be changed. I would be suprised if they used the same type of socket for more than 10 years.

We're telling you to go with Socket AM2 because it's AMD's newer technology, not because it's currently offering "better" (it's not, it's just as good) performance than Socket 939. Doing the switch now would also mean saving money overtime. How? Well, you'd already have a DDR2-enabled motherboard and DDR2 memory, which is currently cheaper than DDR1 memory modules on most online stores.

Moron.

DDR3 memory isn't going to be adopted by AMD anytime soon, they just switched to DDR2, I don't know about Intel, but currently only one company has begun production of a DDR3 memory module.

I didn't really get anything for my 18th birthday, except going to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. BUT, I id get a vey nice watch from my father and a very expensive chain from my mother on my graduation. Both of them combined are worth about $2,300.

And all I really wanted was that money for a new computer. Sad
