I am considering a new computer build in the near future. Since I saw that the new 939's are shipping next week I have a question regarding chipsets. I will probably go with a 939 3200 when they are available. Is it worth it to put the build off till nforce 4 comes out? I have no desire to get away from my current ati all in wonder card for the time being. Seems to do most of what I want for now and I like the DVR capability that I have right now. It is a 9600 pro and seems to be a good quality card. So PCIE is not something I want right now anyway. The new audio is kind of intriging though. I have a Logitech THX set the Z-5300 set. So that may be the only option I would like to have for now. I know they will have 1 or 2 revisions of nforce 4 til they probably get it right.

Next upgrade after will be when ddr 2 is settled and PCIE becomes the standard. 2 years? The board that I am currently interested in is the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. I have a real open mind regarding this build. Money isn't burning a hole in my pocket yet. Getting close though.
