is there an emotional attachment with the current system you have , or you plan to upgrade your rig later?

i have an asus p5n-e sli laying around but i'm too lazy to look up the socket :) if it fits you, you could have it for free. cpu and ram is on it too...

Also 2 of the Asus you had on eBay with 1€ start, one even comes with a Phenom CPU.

i'd be extremely surprised if you can get it at that price nowadays considering they haven't even been making them for several years now. the moment something gets discontinued or stops being made, the price-range for said product doubles at the very minimum. so if you find a €30,00 Mobo, it's likely something that won't last more then 2weeks.
i also just don't recommend investing anything at all for that cpu anymore either, buy some motherboard+cpu kit together or something like that imo instead.
but if you insist, this is the only one i could find on newegg i may even remotely consider, cause it least of all opens up doors to a little bit of upgrade wiggle room.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157581 Nevermind.. it's not even compatible with 940.. my bad.

More like it's so old already that people are throwing them in trash because of very low resale value. :)
And new, albeit different one, mobo for that socket costs 35€ and 5€ postage so bit over the 30€ limit, but would have warranty etc.

i don't even really know now, but i just know when i looked for a replacment for mine when my am2 died, the same motherboard ran $500 usd instead of the $250 it was when it was brand new.. i thought if anything it has only gotten worse since that was 5years ago.

You can look my link above for the Euro situation, not like he's going to order over the Atlantic very likely. :)

it wasn't so they could order from there, so they can grab the model # and look into seeing if they can find it in their region. ^^

i'm running a phenom II 945 with a m3a78-em motherboard, maybe there are some in a retailer/ebay in your country?

Are you still looking and how desperate are you? I had a Sempron in about 2005 and that and the motherboard are still around here somewhere. Not sure if it was an early AM2 or a socket 939 but if you were interested I could go check and it would be yours for the cost of postage. I had an ECS Geforce 6100SMH-M2 but I'm fairly sure I put that in the last computer I built for my sister and that is probably still in use...
Edit: Sorry and hope the bump helps - but the motherboard I have here is a Foxconn Socket 939.

why are you looking for a am2 socket when am3, am3+ and am4 are retro compatible with am2 ????
Comment has been collapsed.
Wait! :O Where can I found a list of MOBO that 100% support my Phenom II x4 940 and 4 moduls of DDR2 ?
I also have a Shapphire Nitro+ RX470 OC 8Gb

Both the ASUS M4A77D and MSI 790XT-G45 should also work for you. Later boards, but still DDR2.

I came to this thread looking for a 10 year old mother, but left because I got board.
Bump anyways. I dont understand anything in here

I have a GA-MA790X-UD4P that's not currently free but could be made free. Problem is one of the RAM slots is faulty, far as I remember. That would put a kink in using four RAM modules, which I understand you want. Other than that it's working fine.

It's a quite old config, and only 2 ram are not enough :/ But ty

I have 2x4GB I got recently from a Chinese eBay seller, but it has some caveats. I'll give you a few more details in case you'll still want a MB by the time I get it freed. I won't mind sending you everything for free.
The motherboard is currently in my sister's PC (it's an old MB of mine). I recently upgraded my HTPC to a Pentium G4560 so freed an AM3 MB which I plan to give her to replace the old MB (together with the Phenom II X3 710 in it to replace her Athlon II X2 240). I don't see her that often, which is why I'm not sure when I'd be able to make the switch.
As I said, IIRC one RAM slot is faulty, but I can test it again. I also tried upgrading it with the 2x4GB I got, which worked initially but then stopped (after just a week or two). I suspect that these aren't really the Samsung 800MHz DDR2 DIMMs they pretend to be. They may be slower or mismatched, which is why they might not be working well in dual channel. Or it may be that they just weren't plugged in well enough and I'm just being suspicious for nothing. :) I'll need to do some more testing to get a clearer picture of what works and what doesn't. Currently I put a 2GB+4GB combination in her PC, so it isn't dual channel, but hopefully better than 4GB dual channel.

I thrown it away a few weeks ago. Is it really so hard to buy it in eBay or similar server?

You can type an amount of models, and you'll find only ram :(

Haha I'm also looking for an old intel board model for my router :D
The problem with this router is that it's based on older Linux which is somehow very trash and would not even recognize today's mobos chipsets xD

They are still made believe it or not, if you are looking for new with a warrenty.

That's fascinating, an AM3+/AM2+ motherboard with both DDR2 and DDR3 support, and still being produced. Probably not good for the OP (due to having just two DDR2 slots) but thanks for posting.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've seen asrock still produce them but only 2 ddr2 and in the compatibility list they not support phenom II 940 x4

you will have to be extremely lucky to find that exact same board now. it's old as dirt, just like my DFI socket 775 board. only one item sold on ebay in the last three months or whatever that time limit for finished deals is.
your best bet is to do some research and find another board that suits your needs.

The funny things it's that I've seen a mid range Pc at 1200€ (just and example, I'm not searching a new pc, it was some kind of web offer), with quite new components, that in my opinion doesn't work better then my 9 years old machine. Bah.

Hello guys, I need your help!
I'm looking for a (possibly) new motherboard, not a new model but an old one.
I need AM2 socket for my phenom II 940, with ddr 2 support.
My actual is Asus M3H-N/HDMI, same model would be perfect.
It's quite difficult to find it on the net, can you help me?
Do you have a working one to give it to me? I'm looking on something max €30,00
Thanks for your time...and happy easter!
