There are two major revisions. Revision 1 had a non-working
AGP/PCI lock. (Some people claimed their Revision 1 lock
worked with a certain BIOS, but not all could get it to work.)
Revision 2 fixed it. Revision 1 had a wireless card included
with it. Revision 2 didn't include the wireless card.

If you visit anandtech.com, they mention this in a review of
some 939 boards.
