cool. my A8N died a few mos. ago. i'd pick one of these up if it was available, find something to do with it.
The reasons have already been explained in this thread.This is a NEW motherboard with the 785G chipset that supports Socket 939. I simply meant why would you get this board when you can upgrade to a much faster socket AM2 platform for a pittance more.
I think you're missing the point.

Well, it's an interesting product, isn't it? I think it'll be fun if you have a Socket 939 CPU lying around.
I was answering a specific question about why people pay so much for x2 and opteron processors on ebay.
As for why I would buy this board if it is cheap enough- because I already have a processor, memory and everything else I need to build a HTPC or WHS for the cost of the MB. I don't need a much faster AM2 platform.
I wish they modified it to support DDR2. All my DDR400 sticks died leaving only 1GB left otherwise I wouldn't mind getting one for my old 939 cpu..
Is that possible with Socket 939?
