ermm i have a A8V-VM SE with a 8600gt 256mb i want to upgrade to a 9600gt or a 9500gt but those use pci e 2.0 and the mobo i have is said to have problems with 2.0 backwards compatibility can anyone help me?

[Racquerr]

I still use this mobo as my main w/ a 4200+ and a ATIHD2900

Crysis Bench:

Play Time: 62.91s, Average FPS: 31.79 Min FPS: 17.61 at frame 1943, Max FPS: 46.15 at frame 69 Average Tri/Sec: 29224694, Tri/Frame: 919196 Recorded/Played Tris ratio: 1.00

lol

[AmH032uTuBe]

yes but at what resolution.

what O/S like in DX9 or DX10

and what Crysis settings etc.

With my 2600XT I get 35FPS average mix of medium and high @ 1280x1024

(not this mobo, intel based)

[Racquerr]

Res: 1920x1200 (24" LCD)

OS: XP x64 Edition (so DX9)

Card: HD2900 Pro (OC'd )

Detail: Med and Hi as well

DX10 benches are slightly lower if I boot into Vista. Still playable.

@Racquerr

Hey still using this motherboard with athlon64/1.5gig RAM/9600gt 512MB DDR3 and my pc kicks alot of game hahaha !!!!!!! Its a good mother board

[1981z28camaro]

fuck sakes, I spent $800 on a FX-57, like 4 years ago, now 939 has been discontinued, and I just bought a GTX 260, and I want to put my FX-57 to good use, so I'm looking for a 939 mobo right now, and I don't know what is the best one to get, I figured if I'm going with 939, being they are a bit outdated and discontinued, I should be able to get a pretty good deal, even on a nice 939 mobo

does anyone know what the BEST 939 Mobo would be?

Thanks to those who reply!

[histatimaniples]

i saw stacks of 939 mobo's at he pc swapmeet for 10 bucks each

[1981z28camaro]

lol, crazy how fast technology goes.

[histatimaniples]

fast and sad we fork over so much money over out dated technology

[1981z28camaro]

yeah, I paid $800 for my CPU, and $800 for my video card

CPU - FX-57 (Which I'm still using)

GPU - BFG Geforce 7900 GTX 512 (Which I'm not using anymore)

upgraded my GPU to a GTX 260 Superclocked, and my PC is running pretty good, but is slow in games like Far Cry 2, so I do need to upgrade to Quad core, and better memory.

[histatimaniples]

atleast you can take that video card with you when you upgrade to a better mobo and cpu

[1981z28camaro]

yeah that's true :-) not a complete loss then.

[histatimaniples]

that's what i'll be doing when i ever jump to i7 but i'm going to pick me up a 939 mobo just to put another build together

[1981z28camaro]

oh yeah cool, sounds good although I don't think I would do a 939 setup, maybe a $800 dual core build.

[histatimaniples]

i just built a dual core for my girlfriend for a $100 with a custom hello kitty case lol

i want to see how much i could get away with building a decent 939 for less then a 40 bucks i have a amd sempron somewhere in my junk pile "room"

mobo $10 $ddr1-2gb i should be able to do it

[1981z28camaro]

lol, crazy, just $40?? haha, Hello Kitty, that's funny..

I imagine you can't do much with that PC you built her....but hey, if she only uses it for like the net, music, and movies, that's pretty good then.

[histatimaniples]

you would be surprised, that thing runs like a monster! yeah it's mainly for everything you described..... oh and once i get her a decent video card to stream blue ray to her hdtv...

she should be set! then once i upgrade to a core 2 quad or i7 she could have my e8500

[1981z28camaro]

that's one thing I gotta get sometime is a Blu-Ray reader/writer....

I'll probably get it when I do my next build. Wouldn't mind building my own projector too, and projecting onto a 100 inch screen "-) That would be nice. lol

[histatimaniples]

yeah those blue-ray writers are expensive and the blank disc are to

man! build a projector wow!

how would you go and do that? i can see the sceen being easy to put together lol

[1981z28camaro]

yeah, check out diyprojectorkits (d.ot) c.o.m

they can look REALLY good

[histatimaniples]

wow thats crazy how much would you think everything would cost to pull something like that off

[1981z28camaro]

depends, if you wanted to build a 1080p projector it would cost more of course, but still way cheaper than brand name, and you can take pride in it, cuz you built it :-)

they have a chat room built into that site, that runs like 24/7, you could ask some ppl some questions

[35057]

wow..... how old is this??

[ugurds55]

I have a phenom x3 8450 2.10 ghz tripple core

4 GB ddr 2 800 mhz geill

[Astrokillkid]

Where can I get a good cheap 939 board?

[LolAtYou2ube]

the dump.

[LordSamuelJ]

ebay

[gomomaBlog]

that weak

[j3ff86]

I have the micro version of this board and it doesn't support Vista at all. You can't even install it.

[anticscrew]

Does anyone know if this board supports x64 windows cleanly? I've heard of other older boards getting screwed up with the vista install.

[hbkkl]

yes i have it with an 3500++ at 2.2ghz overclocked to 2.5ghz with 265 of bus multiplier of 9.5x and 2gb ddr400 corsair

[hammerhead2008]

I have a 939 board from dfi and it has 2x pci-e which proves logan wrong from saying 939 boards have agp

[SolidSchoofs]

I have 2 939 boards at home that both support agp as well as this board

[Boinkmakr]

every video he hays no problem and direct x 10

[FreakingLogan]

it's a contest we have going on... lol.

[kwapaz]

that really sucks, why not buy a good motherboard, DDR Memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that sucks wat are we like in the year 2000

[FreakingLogan]

maybe sucks for you... but this is not for enthusiasts... someone wants it because it is one of our best sellers.

[zombie112]

Ehh..Most mobos for 939 have PCI-E..and 939 is basically dead right now.

[niiidar]

Don't be mean against 939 :P I've got it XD

[zombie112]

Its still good, but its pretty much dead now, only goes up to a 4800+ and you can only get the higher end ones like the 4800 on ebay...for not good prices.

[IKLIPTIC]

Logan you should watch your video you say "and that sorta thing" and smack between features soooooo many times its entertaining. Not saying keep doing it but watch yoru videos and catch it its hillarious hahahahahahaha.

[RickyTomatoes]

Yeah Logan, stop cutting corners ROFL

[CRAKIZGOOD]

[FreakingLogan]
