Ya, I hear ya about the upgrade dilemma. I spent a pretty penny when I built my 'top o the line' puter a couple of years ago (or maybe longer now). I too have a 939 Athlon 64 3700+, and a BFG 7800GTX, big stuff at the time and now costs a fraction of what I paid for it back then. It is really hard to scrap it when it all still works 'ok'. I've been chomping at the bit to at least buy an Athlon X2 939 whatever for awhile now but the longer I wait instead of cheaper the 939 cores are getting scarcer. I was looking for a X2 4800 or an Opti 185 but the prices never came down enough to justify the expense (and trashing my 3700). I should just grab a X2 4200 before their gone I suppose.
