You are near the end of the line on S939 chips. All you have left is the FX-60 which is a dual core model and the last FX produced on the S939. It is essentially a pair of FX-55 on the same chip coming in at 2.6 Ghz.
Yes there are a few Athlon 64 X2 models also but they wouldnt OC better due to the locked multiplier.
Tell you what I did. Scrapped the whole AMD set up I had and now have gone over to the dark side. I have an e6700 C2D on a P5N32-E SLI and it is faster than fast. Easily OC'd to 3.4Ghz, some water will get me maybe 3.7 or 8.
Unfortunately AMD has lost the midas touch at the high end for now. You could consider AM2 boards and an FX-62. Either way, Intel or AMD you'll need some new stuff.
You can also look this stuff up for yourself and learn something.
