Yeah, ouch! Plus I was beginning to panic, since socket 939 cpus are getting scarce. Last night, I managed to snag an OEM Athlon 64 3200+ and HS/fan in two separate eBay auctions. $36.99 and $13.54 respectively, including shipping and handling. With luck, I will be running on 64 bit hardware by the end of this coming weekend.

Eventually, I will get a dual core for the asrock. Likely via eBay. I call this rig the Poor Man's Dual CPU (if I can get win2k pro to see both cores, even as 2 cpus.).
