I know 754 is the older socket but when AMD announced the AM2s I thought
that it was said that the 939s were history and AMD was going to keep the
754s as the budget line. I just checked on Newegg though and it seems the
opposite as 939s were plentiful and 754s were few and far between so what is
it which is going first?

The last I read 754 will continue for awhile but 939 will not be
manufactured next year. Now appears to be the last chance to get a 939 x2.

939 chips seem to be going up in price too, at least where I shop the X2
4200+ went from $181 to $211 in the last couple of months.

Looks like the 754 stuff will be semprons and one 2.0ghz athlon64 if
newegg is any indicator.

It'll be interesting if they drum up any more weird OEM stuff like
the 90nm 2.4's they had for a while. People said they ran hot, so
they were probably overclocked 2.0 or 2.2's.

If I was in marketing, I'd roll out a 2.6ghz 754 to get the upgrade
market dollars. What do I care what motherboard or ram you buy ?

Because they can make more money selling dual and quad processor
cpu's. Higher profit margin. And at the moment AMD has a finite amount
of silicon wafers for processors.
