I would recommend this there isnt much you can get 939 wise:

Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK

Am i being thick on the box the motherbaord say's it can suport the following?

amd athlon 64 x2 64 fx/64

and the white lable on the side say this


nVidia n FORCE4 sli/2 pci-E*16
Socket 939 ATx/ 2PCi-E*14 DDR Dule-CH Audio Gbe/4 SATA II / 10 USB 2.0

only got this a yearago and was told it was kick *** then and would be upgradable prosseser wise???






AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 Dual Core 2x 2.6GHz 2x 1MB 939 CPU


could i run this

Well Socket AM2 has taken over 939, but there are some X2's you can get for it still:

Have you got a link to the shop that sells that processor?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 FX-60 Dual Core CPU 2.6GHz, 2x 1MB L2 Cache, 90nm, Socket 939 CPU Processor, ADAFX60CDBOX (Retail with Fan and Heatsink, 3-Year AMD Warranty) (Non-Refundable)

The last and second processors wont work as they are AM2.

but the first - they say it is socket 939 and you have a socket 939 board so it should work.

Thanks chap yer My bad on the other 2, was just gazing the net,


funny how all things look green? if you get me
