S-939 is slowly dying, and today you can buy nforce5-based motherboards and cpu, both for AM2-socket for the same price (MSI, or Asus). It sure has better future, then s-939... Hmm, the dealer didn't have any AM2 sockets, but since I've never upgraded the CPU without changing just about everything I don't think that will be a dealbreaker.
