I've got a 939 mobo with An Athlon 4000+ CPU. How high can I upgrade the CPU to with this motherboard? Should I get a new mobo?
The newer Athlons use an AM2 slot. When I was looking at an AMD-based motherboard myself in the pat I've seen some that had a conversion kit option available that would enable a 939 motherboard to be ready for AM2 CPU's as well... Might be an option too.
Personally I went with the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 myself, after being all-AMD for quite a few years. Intel simply offered more bang for the buck...
