Waiting for Socket 939?
I've been sitting here for an hour thinking about a new system, mainly about
the best time to buy (never really a good time with computers though!). I've just read about socket "939". This May should bring with it the announcement of this new socket (a 940 with a pin removed to use non-ECC memory). I want an Athlon 64 FX, but after hearing about the 939 I'm gonna wait. http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1985 Anyway, I want an Asus (or similar quality) socket 939 board with a Athlon FX-53, with support for DDR2 (will that be possible with these boards/processors at all), Gigabit LAN, PCI-Express (1x and 16x), 8x USB 2.0 ports, SATA RAID, while keeping all the IDE and floppy ports too. Oh, and I'll of course be needing a PCI-X graphics card, anyone know of developments on that side of things? Regards, Tony.
