Which socket type is better?
AM2, but 939 processors are cheaper, and their mid ranged processors are amazing.
939 IMO, personaly, if you know what I am saying.
Am2
Add me on Origin for Battlefield 4 fun: DesKmal
AM2 is more developed, and supported, they cut support for 939, but theres not many differences between the two with performance
AM2 supports DDR2 if that matters to you.
I have a 939 right now, but pretty soon AM2 is gonna dominate the market (IMO). You can build a pretty sick rig with a 939 socket type for cheap and you can overclock nicely.
I love my 939, but I know in the near future I'm gonna want AM2 and will most likely upgrade.

There's no point in getting an AM2, you might as well go with a conroe. 939 is still a worthwhile buy, because they're so cheap and still pretty good, they haven't just become crap overnight - AM2 is rubbish though, much more money and very small performance increase.

Socket-A, motherf***ers!
I need around tree fiddy.
Intel. I was always an AMD fanboy, as some of you might consider it, but now owning a 'New' Intel Core Duo in my mac, has made me change my mind.
Intel made some good strategical decisions regarding their architecture, and they have hit the jackpot this time.

Yeah me too, i love my core duo mac. But i also have a 939 and they are so cheap right now. You could build a badass machine right now for hardly any money.Bernadictus wrote:
