While at work today, Benton pointed out that this could be a potentially good time for me to upgrade my box at home, particularly the CPU. At the moment, I am running an AMD Athlon64 3200+, which makes use of a Socket 939. Since AMD has moved onto the AM2, it would be a nice time for me to upgrade this good old machine to an Athlon64 x2.

Here lies my problem: despite these suckers being sold down in the States for stupidly cheap (ie. less than $100), it’s hard to find Socket 939 processors up here. Even if I do find them, they’re not even dual-core or stupidly expensive!

Honestly Canada. What the hell. Get with it!
