That was my preference, as well, based on an earlier post of
yours. I even ordered one, but my vendor wasn't able to obtain
one.
The options for 939 seem to be:
nForce4
ULi M1695 + ULI M1567 (not an option; limited SATA support)
GeForce 6150 + nForce 430
CrossFire Xpress 1600
Crossfire Xpress 3200 + ULI M1575
Radeon 200 Crossfire (RS482) + SB450
The options for AM2 seem to be:
nForce 570 Ultra
nForce 430 + GeForce 6100
K8T890 + VT8237A
nForce4 Ultra
nForce 550
Any comments on any of these combinations would be appreciated.
