I know that is has been asked & answered a million times, but I can't fing the drill down. I have three Socket 939 Asus A8n-SLI Deluxe home machines (mine and my 2 teenage boys). One has a AMD 3700+ and two with 3500+. I am trying to get the fastest CPU's that are compatible. I am getting very confused and I don't ready trust a retailer for honest answers. Any help would be most appreciated.
4000 is the fastest single core, anything above is duo. Might also check into the server chips as well. Its going to cost you vs the perf available today

Thats true, the fx chips are faster, but theres no way youll find those singles. Havnt checked in a long time, theyll be very hard to find, any of em

I have the A8N-SLI and the A8N32-SLI running currently. OP should grab that 185 from you before you get $400 from the guy your giving it to. My 4800X2 2.4 runs nice too. New listing $450.
Thanks all. I am not a happy camper! $300 for a CPU thats only .06 MHz faster than what I have now (3700+). I know its a rant but when I bought these machines the 939 was supposd to leverage for future growth. What
cr_p! This whole computer industry is going to be the death of true growth and interation. If car companies did this everyone would be on bicycles!!
I am fedup with this endless "mouse on the wheel" cr_p!!
I think I will go back to tabletop war games, my slide rule & a real chessboard!!
AMD kept socket 754 which uses DDR around for cheap busines solutions. Then ended socket 939 which was also DDR when Intel introduced socket 775 with DDR2. AMD then released AM2 which supports DDR2. 754 is still around.

Socket 939 NF4 introduced SLI. I stayed up all night watching for newegg to release the A8N32-SLI Deluxe 16 x 16 SLI. To expensive for me upon release. Ha, while I have you here, I still have my socket 754 NF 4 SLI running. I have worked on that thing for maybe three months now trying to solve the freezing/crashing issue it developed over time. . Last week I installed a new SATA cable to the HD and moved the unit to a different MB header. Do you realize what a genius I am.

well, i have a s939 a8n-sli premium and a 4000+, the only thing that bothers me is that i only have 1GB of memory and DDR is way to expensive to upgrade, luckily it's just my file server though
4800 is 2.4, with 1 mb cache, fastest non fx chip for duals. If you can get a dual, itd be an improvement, even with slightly lower clocks
While we're on the subject, the AMD 4800X2 2.4Ghz. socket 939 was the very first dual core desktop processor released. The 3800X2 939 came later and was much cheaper unlike the FX60 which also came later too, but was more expensive. The 4800X2 is still very good at multitasking like you mentioned. So AMD was first to release a DC processor. Also a CPU to run a dual GPU chipset (Nvidia NF4) and first to implement an onboard memory controller. All this proved to be the path cutting edge technology has taken. That's why I have so many boss Intel systems today. Thank god Intel fired back with Pentium D , a lock on Crossfire in it's infancy and a triple channel onboard memory channel which memory distributors think very highly of . Oh, and AMD was the first of the two to buy it's own GPU production deal. I'm pointing out the obvious obviously.
