S754 MB : 70$US and more
S939 MB : 100$US and more
S754 CPU : 118$US (A64 2800+) / 134$US (A64 3000+)
S939 CPU : 140$US (A64 3000+)
Overall, a Socket939 system will only cost 52$US more. This is not that much for a platform that is more future proof!
If you compare the price of 3000+ based system, the difference is only 36$US. If you don't have that 36$ or 52$ to spend, you probably have a "too tight" budget to buy a high-end system anyway and you should stick to low-end system based on SocketA Sempron!
I hope you understand the fact that if you want the lastest technology, you must pay a premium for it, and 50$US is not much to get the latest AMD technology.
