    We have a room with a number of machines built
    around the Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-SLI motherboard.
    The processors are all older AMD using the 939
    socket. There's not much available in newer AMD
    939 cpu chips.

    These have been very reliable. Is it worth
    considering to get the latest 939 AMD or
    is it time to go to a motherboard with the
    AMD 2+ socket?

    Thanks in advance

    939 hasn't seen any new processors for two years, if you want an upgraded system you could consider AM2, but since you will need a new board, CPU and RAM, you may as well go with Intel 775, as you will get better performing chips on that platform.
