Please folks, I need some help. I'm in desperate need to upgrade my AMD64 (s939) box - need much more CPU/RAM power to do both CPU- and memory-intensive computations. So here is my obvious question: which are the last supported chipsets/CPU and so on (I'm thinking along the line of AM3 AMD-based MB plus Phenom II - they seem to be a bit cheeper)? Is there any sence to look for the newest (AMD8xx) based MB, 6-core Phenoms, SATA III, USB-3 or they aren't going to work? TIA, Vladimir
