I am putting a ASrock K8upgrade mobo in my moms computer because the only thing wrong with her pc heath wise is the motherboard. This particular model of motherboard has the ability to put a add-on card for both a 939 board and a AM2 board, I was curious if anyone knew where I could purchase this for perhaps a future upgrade?

Superbiz has the asrock riser card. The part number is am2cpubrd. Ewiz>motherboards>accessories. The price is $29.95. For a few dollars more, you can get a low end board or newegg open box am2+ board. You'll need ddr2 memory anyway, so you might as well get a full board.

S939 boards have nearly dried up, except for Ebay. This is the only one I could find selling new:

ASUS A8S-X SIS 756+965L (bulk)

ASUS Product Page

It has an SIS chipset and supports PCI Express cards, not AGP like the NF3.

Here is a new AM2+ setup you might consider:

Foxconn A74MX-K AMD 740G - $40.00 shipped AR

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz - $40.00 shipped

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2-800 - $20.00 shipped AR

Use the integrated AMD 740G graphics = $100.00 total (after rebates). Should the IGP prove inadequate for some reason, toss in something like this for another $20.00 (AR):

ASUS Radeon HD 3450 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16


Its for Moms! Give her all new (albiet inexpensive) tech.

My point is that you might as well skip the riser card. You're using ddr right now; when you upgrade to anything else, you'll need ddr2 or ddr3, so a new board will give you more options for not much more than the card. Am2 is ddr2 only.

I understand, I only wanted the riser because it gives my mom the option of upgrading later if she wants, for a low cost, unless the riser, the cpu and ram would add up to a new board, ram, video card and cpu. The most complicated she uses her computer for is editing photos for her scrapbooking projects. I keep her PC in good health but alas old age has gotten the best of her motherboard being that it is near 5 years old.
