Im upgrading my system and i have a few questions.
Im deffinatly upgrading my mobo and video card (im still using AGP), and possibly my processor. My main question is, are the socket 939 mother boards going out of style? because if its going to be going out of style pretty soon i want to go ahead and get a motherboard with a differnt socket type. My processor is the athlon 64 3800, and it does ok for me i dont want to upgrade it unless i have to. I was looking around and i can only find a couple mobos with a pci express and the 939 socket.
Another question is, when pairing a video card with a mobo, is there anything i should be looking for? other than a pcie slot? Im wanting to go with something like a geforce 8600gt and i dont want to get a mobo thats gonna hold it back or anything. There are only 6 939 socket mobos on newegg, im just worried its going to hold my system back.
