If this was one month back I would have had a old 939 ECS I could not found a cpu for.

[politallycorrect]

Well I had the one CPU (single core) then the price of dual cores dropped a lot about a year or two later so I bought a dual core as an upgrade. The board died of old age sadly

Ok, the 939's I have at the moment are as follows:
- Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra 939 - worked fine but has been standing unused the last 8 months - caps look fine
- Sapphire Pure Element PE-A9RS482M
- Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI - 2 caps starting to bulge, but board working
- Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 - caps look fine - SOLD

I also have these older boards lying around:
- GA-K8N Pro - Socket 754
- Gigabyte GA-7VRXP (rev 2.0) - Socket A
- MSI K7N2 - Socket A

If you need the CPU's and RAM, let me know...

I have one of the above, not sure which one but it still runs fine after all these years so I will give it a thumbs up.

Anybody know if there are any 939 boards out there that supports ddr2 ram? My guess is no, which is really crappy as i have a Asus A8N SLI Premium board with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ cpu... all the makings of a lekker machine,but... takes DDR400 ram.
Would love to transfer the cpu to a board that supports ddr2...possible?

Apparently DDR2 RAM doesn't make much of a difference on the old 939 chips so AMD never goo DDR 2 with socket 939.

Sucks tho, cos cost wise ddr400 prices are ridiculous!...

@ Rannb
It so happens that I have a few sets of the following DDR400 memory modules available (all came from recent motherboard upgrades listed earlier in this thread - my own personal PC's).
Although I'm not going to "give them away", I'll consider reasonable offers to offset some of the costs of the recent upgrades I did.

All the modules listed below carry the relevant manufacturer's lifetime warranty...

- 4 modules of (2 matched pairs): Kingston Hyper-X KHX3200K2/2G with heatsinks, 2x matched 1GB 400MHz, DDR400, 184-pin, Non-ECC, CL2.5, 2.6v, Latency: 2.5-3-3-7-1 - reseller pricing is about R399 per module plus VAT

- 4 modules of: Kingmax MPXC22F-D8KT4B DDR-400, 4x 512MB 400MHz, DDR400, 184-pin, Non-ECC, CL3, 2.5v, Latency: 3-4-4-8 - reseller pricing is about R189 per module plus VAT

- 2 modules of (1 matched pair): Kingston KVR400X64C3AK2/1G, 2x matched 512MB 400MHz, DDR400, 184-pin, Non-ECC, CL3, 2.6v, Latency: 3-3-3 - reseller pricing is about R199 per module plus VAT

- 2 modules of: Samsung 1GB DDR400, 128x4 chips (high capacity), 2x 1GB 400MHz, DDR400, 184-pin, Non-ECC - reseller pricing is about R339 per module plus VAT


UPDATE on the motherboards: I also found a second Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI in one of my old PC cases - all caps are fine on this one

I also have a few CPU's (754's, 939's) available from these recent upgrades - I'll have to pull them first and will post the specs here if anyone is interested... otherwise you'll find them on the classifieds soon...
