Just looking to stretch the 939 for another year. The crazy thing is AMD switched from 939 to AM2 for no detectable performance gain. I'm clueless why they bothered.

Would the x2 3600+ (all that NewEgg has right now and it's likely to get worse) be an improvement over my Athlon 64 3700+? If so, how much? In any event, I'm committed to getting 2 years out of this motherboard and checking out the opportunities then for mb improvement. I figure $50 to $75 is a good investment to accomplish that.
