AsRock made boards that were upgradeable from 754 to 939 to AM2. A riser card was involved though. I just sold the AsRock 939Dual-SATA2 and AM2CPU board that saw me from a 939 athlon 3000+ to an AM2 athlon X2 5000+ BE on eBay. Gave me 5 years solid service. I felt like I was saying goodbye to an old friend dropping it off at the post office.
I believe a few companies made adapter boards that let you put a socket 478 CPU in a socket 775 motherboard as well. It's always annoyed me that no-one thought to do that for Socket S1 -> AM2...
No sarcasm: socket S1 was the mobile equivalent of AM2 for Turion + Mobile Athlon CPUs with integrated dual channel DDR2 memory controllers. It always seemed to me that it should be possible to remap the smaller S1 socket to AM2, since both processors were architecture identical. But afaict it was never done, and it's practically impossible to get hold of a Socket S1 motherboard...
Oh, I read S1 as AM1 for some reason.
I think I'll stop posting on this thread now...
There never was an AM1.
Aww I meant 939, what is this thread doing to me?
While I can see the reason for the pee-taking, that was my reaction - especially if you don't have a suitable CPU box, that's a pretty smart way of ensuring safety in storage and in transit, if the board itself was duff.
Having said that, someone also said it would have been smart if the listing actually mentioned that, and I wholeheartedly agree with that, too.
