Well yes, but by the sounds of it that's a Socket 939 board, and Socket 939 chips are out of production and you can only buy second hand ones off ebay.

That shouldn't be a problem...there are about a million of them looking for new homes.

X2 Socket 939 are scarcer than hen's teeth (at a reaonable price) and overpriced due to their scarcity.

When I was faced with the same dilemma, I decided to forklift to an AM2+ platform. CPU and MB were cheaper than what the X2 939 CPU would have cost.

Sempron is to X2 as Celeron is to Dual core.

I'd help you for postage...but I already did so twice and have none left. Try ebay...they have lots of 'em, some are even new.

Most of them seem to go for about $100 (the lower end ones). Fine for an upgrade I suppose, but very expensive for what you get.

Maybe I'm jaded because I live in Silicon Valley where technology is plentiful and cheap, but I see absolutely NO reason to pay $100.00 for a X2-anything Socket 939 CPU unless your existing motherboard is made of gold.

Example: Today, one of our local tech deals is

"AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750+ Black Processor & BioStar A760G M2+ Motherboard $89.99 ". Newegg has CPU only for $59.99.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Plus, such options are only available in the US to any extent. They're not that common here in the UK.
