939 Delayed :(

[jrphoenix]

I hadn't seen anyone commenting on this topic: X-bit Story. It looks like the 939 processors will be delayed until June 1 now (instead of May 25).

This isn't a "long" delay, thank God! I am getting a little discouraged with these delayse. I have been anticipating a major upgrade of my system in the coming weeks. I hope we don't have any other delays by June / July.

My $2000 is starting to burn a hole in my pocket. (I have given myself $2000-2500 to spend on buidling my first system.... don't need speakers, monitor, or networking equipment as I've already bought them)



Do you guys see a big problem with being one of the first to jump on the PCI-E / 939 platform? I'm wanting a system cutting edge with as much future proofing as possible. I hope the first mobos, procs, and PCI-E cards are worth the wait.

I don't like buying first version of anything but you can be the beta tester.

That bad huh? I've never bought "cutting edge" before.... I just want to upgrade to something very quick

I have not seen any additional procs (AMD 64) coming out for socket 754 after the 3700+ comes out. Do you guys think that AMD might actually make more 64 bit chips for this proven socket?

For those PC components with "good personalities", right?

I agree, save your money and buy a NF2 with XP-M and O/C the hell out of it for ~$200 and wait 6 months. Buy the same RAM you would have with the 939 board and use it later. Give 939 time to mature while you enjoy a cutting edge system on the cheap. Of course, I was one of the first to get in on NF2 with my A7N8X Deluxe and that was one hella-stable and fast board...still is.

Some of us don't mind being the guinea pigs. I usually jump right on this new stuff too. Fixing problems is fun!

Maybe I can ask you questions after taking the plunge?

Oh yeah

do you really think amd would switch from 754 to 939 if there arent going to be major improvements. its not cheap or easy to switch a processor to a different socket, they are doing it for a reason.

Using my computer is much more fun than fixing it.
