s939 motherboards

[Azndude51]

Why is it that so many people don't like s939 motherboards? I was thinking about getting one, but now i'm unsure.

 

[First]

It's not that people have a problem with S939 motherboards; it's the prices of S939 processors that turns them off. S939 processor prices are several hundred dollars more expensive than S754 processors for a ~ 3% performance boost. Though, if you specialize in worstation apps, then S939 is for you.
