maybe not so hot. one site i was looking (monarch) at had this mobo for like $130 so looked good for CPU @ $160. newegg has the mobo for $99 so probably not . . .

939 is the way to go...

Isn't it true that AMD in the future is ditching both the 754 and 939 pin sockets? Some of my peers told me if I wanted the speed, get it now. But, if I want future expandibility, I shouldn't make the Athlon 64 purchase now.

Any insights?

Yeah pretty good deal, but you really don't wanna go this route if you planning on buying a new rig. I think I would go with a socket 939 board and CPU.
