The 940 is pin compatible with the opteron, and 940 pin FX chips will be manufactured through Q4 next year, at which point you can still press later opterons into your socket. The upgrade potential will remain, though not via the mainstream chips.
As for putting that machine together, I will definitely have assistance from providence on that one. Things are just coming together right ... or may, since I will get confimation on the project within the week.

was i saying something wrong there? if i was, sorry!
im just confused as to what to upgrade to, as i said before, i have the duron rig thats in my signature and i do want a faster machine.. its just getting a little confusing as to what to do.. but as normal, money is a problem.
reading all the reviews on this 64bit stuff, it really looks the biz and i would say that would it would be a good investment for myself, should i buy the correct models of everything so that its not going to be a wasted upgrade..
as one of the guys are saying, they are changing the amd 64 fx next year to use non registered memory and that it will be a different pin setup as well, 939 pins correct? so by buying now, its not going to be so worth it as it would be to wait till next year, correct?
@ Tempus - do you have one of these bad boy setups already? judging by your sig you do.. whats it performing like with you?
