wayfarer November 8, 2005 Share wayfarer Member November 8, 2005 The 939 socket for AMD is being phased out. For awhile there I was wishing I had jumperd for that instead of 754. Guess it really does'nt matter now. details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX November 8, 2005 Share NOFX Member November 8, 2005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103573 these opterons are the only ones that support multiple CPU's. hm... 4 cores..nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman November 8, 2005 Share Batman Member November 8, 2005 LOL well I havent bought a new mobo/cpu yet, kinda makes me rethink the 939.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk November 8, 2005 Share Lunk Member November 8, 2005 Think I'll still get one of the dual core ones before they are gone. I've got a 939 mobo & cpu now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo November 8, 2005 Share Cujo Member November 8, 2005 (edited) nofx, it's not the same socket 940. it's a completely different pin layout. stop feeding people mis-information. the new m2 is a 940pin socket that will support all amd desktop cpus. much like the old socket A. budget to mainstream to high end will be supported. m2 also brings ddr2 to amd. the topic is about the phasing out of s939. you posted a link to some opteron cpu and said something about multicores. why? edit - i just clicked the "more at digitimes" link and it says everything i just said...

Batman November 8, 2005 Share Batman Member November 8, 2005 Hey Cujo, that ASrock mobo with the agp/pci-e has a 939 and a M2 socket.. Wild.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo November 8, 2005 Share Cujo Member November 8, 2005 (edited) batman, i believe you're referring to the asrock with 754 and 939 on the same board. that one doesn't have pcie. the one with pcie and agp is only s939. can you link to one with 939 and 940? it's not on their website. preacher, i'm not sure i get it.

Acid-Flux November 8, 2005 Share Acid-Flux Member November 8, 2005 lol. so what if they are being phased out? you wont see anyhting for a few months, and then it still hast to work it's way into the market. That's like saying the 746 socket was phased out for the 939 / 940. it's true, but it took a while for it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo November 9, 2005 Share Cujo Member November 9, 2005 i believe it says phase out by Q2 2007 in that article. m2 doesn't come til Q2 2k6 anyway. still another 5 months from now and even then prices will be high and availability limited.

Batman November 9, 2005 Share Batman Member November 9, 2005 Here Cujo, that ASrock mobo does have a socket 939 and a M5 socket.. Here is the writeup for it... Dont slap me.. ASrock 939Dual-Sata2 The fact that ASRock was able to nicely resolve the space problem is somewhat surprising in view of the numerous components that the board provides. In addition to the slots for x16 PCI Express and AGP, ASRock offers a x1 PCIe slot for future expansion cards, as well as three PCI slots for normal 32-bit cards. In addition, located in the middle of the board is an extra AGP-like slot that can hold a processor expansion card. This is intended to let the board implement future AMD processors without any major effort. In order to manage that, the phalanx of jumpers right next to the slot has to be activated; we could not test the slot, however, due to the lack of an expansion card. According to the user manual, there will be a model available for future AMD processors on Socket M2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo November 9, 2005 Share Cujo Member November 9, 2005 (edited) oh yea. i forgot i read that back when it was posted. it just slipped my mind cause i never thought much of the board when i read that. it mounts sideways on a riser card. i'm interested in the stability and compatibility (with heatsinks) of that solution. guess we'll see when it's released. a friend of mine just bought that board on my recommendation. hopefully it works out well for him. when i checked the website i was lookin at pics to see boards with more than one socket. lol.

Batman November 9, 2005 Share Batman Member November 9, 2005 Yeah you'd think the heatsink would snap the card.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zerodamage November 9, 2005 Share Guest zerodamage Guests November 9, 2005 wow nofx, what did you do to cujo? your post had him pretty peeved! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We techs have to deal with people tinkled off because they get fed misinformation all the time by those who claim to be techs but really are not. Just frustration on Cujo's part, I am sure. I get people saying FireFox is more prone to Spyware and idiot comments like that all the time.

NOFX November 9, 2005 Share NOFX Member November 9, 2005 wow nofx, what did you do to cujo? your post had him pretty peeved! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess my ignorance in the field of AMD CPU sockets upsets some people. Im not a journalist for extremetech. I have alot of hardware experience and thought I would share my input. But thank you for correcting me. I assumed a socket 940 CPU was a 940 CPU. I was thinking they were going mainstream with the 940, which would allow multi-processors with dual cores to be more reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
