I'd go for a x2 3800+ and OC it to 2.5-2.6ghz ... Those cpu's shouldn't cost more then $50-75 ...

I'm running an opty 170 @ 2.75, but my 8800GT is not able to open it's wings judging by the 3dmark06 scores 10k vs. 16k-20k for the quad cores - so I'm trying to research upgrading to q6600 or i7 or ?? since my ram and board will have to change too.

FX-60 was the fastest s939 CPU i believe. what a great socket. i had a 4800+ X2 Toledo and it was great. its still running after 5 years

Without regular income I fall behind on the upgrade curve.
What is the last upgrade I can do for my 939 over an Opteron 146?

Just consider one thing before you buy anything: for about $150 you can upgrade to a much faster AM2 system with more memory or around $175 for an even faster C2D system. Both of these systems will consume much less power than an old s939 setup which will save you money on your power bill over the next several years.
