Will the current 939 boards work with dual core?

I want to get a new 939 board with a 3000+ and then next year sometimes upgrade with dual core. Can I use the same motherboard and just get a new CPU and flash the bios? If not I will wait.

No.

AMD's dual core socket 939 processors were also running in a back room on ASUS' A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboards - without modification. Although we had known for some time that dual core would only require a BIOS update on AMD motherboards (at worst), the knowledge that off-the-shelf motherboards running AMD's newest gave us a further boost of confidence for the future. This is also in stark contrast to Anand's report that Intel dual-core will not run on current 915/925 chipset motherboards.
