I'm Gonna build me a new PC, I ran Autodesk Inventor on my home machine last night and it took 10 mins to initialise and the poor processor was knocking its pan in all night.

Basically I am going for an Athlon Dual core 939 processor and Have a Geforce 6800 ultra gfx card, So I am looking for a 939 board with AGP on it, not many getting made these days,

Was thinking of the ASUS A8V, but will gladly take any of your suggestions

Personally i wouldn't buy a 939 mobo with the new sockets out.

Have a look at golf turbos thread, or failing that the newer AMD sockets.

If you do want an 939 board i have heard good things about the Asus A8V board so you may be onto a good one.

I've got an Asus A8V. had no problems with it.

One of my machines runs an A8N. No worries.

as an amd man, intel dual core 2's are cheap now....for s939 i like nforce chipsets...not a lot in it though.

No experience of that specific board but a big for Asus products

Asus stuff is good, but the chipset fan *always* fails....

its solved on their v new boards as they dont use a fan..

Agreed re chipset fans on *any* mobo though.

Solution, get mobo, get suitable zalman passive chipset cooler, replace, build system

I picked up an ASRock 939Dual-VSTA for a nice price and it is forward compatible with AM2 if you use the compatibe adaptor board.

What on earth is that behind the Graphics card.

Ohh lead free, have fun.

I see you've gone for the industrial look and an invisible case too - like it

EDIT: Yeah, I'd like to know what you've got sitting behind GFX too! :eek:

I have an Asus A8N-SLi SE, seems to do the business. But you've already got a board now, so this post is worthless.
