There's mine.

I've had 2 computers (crappy Sony VAIO) before I decided to build my own for half the price. Safe to say my PC is an asskicker.

Its the economy version of the DFI lanparty.

DFI is supposed to be a good company. But for me, good company or not its dead within a few months.

Why M2 over 939?

More expensive

well the price range between 939 and AM2 is pretty small but the fact that you have to buy DDR2 memory kind of annoys me.

thats why i recently just upgraded to a 3800 x2 939, 7600gt and a abit kn8-sli board (not that i plan to use sli). cpu cost me $250AUD (inc postage), xfx 570/1.45ghz 7600gt $215 (inc postage) and the board cost me $150 (inc postage). cbf spending more money on AM2 board and Ram (as i got Corsair 2GB twinx c2's)

AM2 motherboards arnt all that common yet. i would wait a while to see what DFI and asus release... also Abit.

Yep.. I ordered the Conroe Extreme

Because 939 is done, all new chips will be on the M2 socket. So buying M2 only makes sense if you plan on upgrading your CPU sometime a few months down the road. Otherwise, if you build a complete system each time, just go with the 939.

The new Core 2 Duo chips have loads more performance though, if you can swing their prices.

[jeezchris.]

.....I have a laptop ^____^ Inspiron 9300 with a 17" screen
but I used to have.. an ASUS P5WD2-P? >__< forgot the model name..
and before that, a Powerbook.
and before that, another laptop.
and before that, a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum..? =___=
I have bad memory!

I don't like desktops anymore.. ^__^ the upgrade game for desktops is too much for me~ there's not much to upgrade in most laptops and my laptop is already almost maxed out.. sooo
just wait and get a core 2 DUO(Merom?) laptop with a 17+" screen in the future and you're set

haha. I haven't been into computers lately so I'm forgetting all the names >__<
