| it's good in the sense that the platform (mobo/cpu/memory) can be had for the same price as S939. But it's not an upgrade choice as there is no performance increase at this time

| The step towards DDRII has to be taken eventually. Improvement will be made from now on. Certainly, products from the "blue team" will be very interesting in the next few months. Our [M] staffs have been saying to spend your money in graphic cards instead

| With the same cooler we didn't notice any difference worth mentioning, the 3500+ in either AM2 or S939 version puts out approximately the same amount of heat
