    AMD’s M2 socket, lowering performance?

    Somebody in HK have posted AM2 (again an engineering sample) benchmarks compared against 939. There is indeed no significant gain with socket switch. AM2 Benchmarks (in Chinese, so you probably need babelfish translation)

    opnion for nvidia6150 mb?

    So it's like building a gaming rig on mATX? :rolleyes: I guess it's really hard for some to shell out additional $40 or so to get mainstream mobos...
