i am upgrading to a 939(from socket A) cause i was given 2 gigs of ddr as a present and am looking for a true x16 sli mobo for my new system i can only find 2 on newegg are there others out there? and if anyone knows about the EVGA 123-K8-NF47-AX(out of stock at the moment) there have been some verybad reviews on newegg as of recently would it be best to just spend the extra 50 and get the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe

I would suggest you sell that 2gb and buy DDR2 it's cheaper now.
Get yourself an E4300 and a gigabyte 965-DS3 mobo.

*edit
If you are still going for 939 then Asus AN832 is a good mobo it tops at about 320-330FSB. If you dont have a 939 proc already get an opty 165. But consider this carefully I think it's not worth it.

Although my EVGA mother board has been very good to me(s-939),I have heard of some issues with their MB.However,it has been some time since those last reviews,and I'm sure EVGA has sorted out those issues.But if all else fails,get the ASUS board as it is also a quality mother board and I've heard about the same reviews for bothe boards.Goodluck.

Conroe performance doesnt depend too much on the memory.
I would buy some cheap stuff like kingmax DDR2-800.

It should be enought to run at 1:1 ratio with the E4300.
9x400 = 3600Mhz.
