S939. It's Out.

fps justin · December 8th, 2006

I don't only mean that its old news, socket 939 is now, OUT OF STOCK at NCIX and Anitec. I guess its time for everyone to move on.

I'm glad i bought my 3800+ X2 before it was too late.

I still can get some, a few left I guess:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
AMD Athlon 64 3800+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+

No where to get a 4000+ or other dual cores though. :O

Yeah I was actually sad to see the Socket A die. I still have a computer with Socket A

NCIX still has s939 Opteron chips, the Opteron 185-2.6Ghz looks like a very nice cpu, it's also the max CPU my Mobo will support.

And it's a few hundred dollars cheaper then the similar FX series.

Socket 478 4 l143!

J/K.... sad to hear its finally dead.

I figured it was going to be gone soon. AMD, IMHO, has screwed some of us that were loyal to them with the change from socket 939 to AM2 and now, a new socket coming out soon. Forget what they call it, but AMD fan's have gotten a real good taste of what the Intel Fan's have been going through.

Glad I got that 4800+ for my s939 board when I did. For some reason, I just never saw them getting too much lower than the $300 I paid for mine.

all the remaining, clearance and sale prices of these procs over the next year should drop significantly then start its climb back up... nowadays it is hard to find a new SocketA Barton for a decent price.

your better off with an opteron 165 or 170. theyre cheaper and overclock to roughly the same speeds. but thats off topic.

yeah i hate to see the 939 socket die and i agree that its still a heckuva platform but its an unfortunate necessity for amd considering that conroe is tearing it up right now and with the dell deal sucking up a good amount of chips. it just isnt feasible considering amd's not king of the hill at this time.

Boo...when I bought my 939 just this summer I figured even though it wouldn't be AM2 or Conroe, it would have an upgrade path. Apparently not.
