The ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 is an inexpensive Socket 939 motherboard that supports the AMD Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64, and Sempron CPU's.

This ATX board also has onboard LAN support and supports AMD's Cool'n'Quiet Technology.

The ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 is an inexpensive way to add some future proofing to your new PC. It's upgradeable to include some interesting new technology coming from AMD:

The ASRock 939Dual-SATA 2 motherboard we're testing here is a socket 939 AMD Athlon64 solution which incorporates a special slot for a daughter card that will in the near future support the upcoming Socket M2 AMD Athlon64 processor and its allotment of DDR-2 memory. Both the Socket M2 AMD processor and the necessary ASRock daughter card are not currently available, but the CPU is expected in Q2 of 2006 so the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 is certainly forward-looking.
