Won't work. Different memory controller. Plenty of 939 boards, DDR
memory is still pretty cheap.

Am2 boards are 940 pin.
I dont think a 939 will fit. (could be wrong though)

You would not be wrong. The pin arrangement is completely different.

Take a look at an Asus A8NE mobo. It's primed for overclocking.
I had my Athlon 64 3500 in it. Then upgraded to a FX-55 (san diego).
