So I was looking through some AMD boards today on new egg because I was.. bored and I have no life at all and I found this board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157077

And its socket 754, BUT it states on its specs. "ASRock Future CPU Port (Yellow): Flexible Socket 939 upgrade interface for ASRock 939CPU board" So does this mean it works with both sockets? I know you wont be able to run two processors at once or any of that but im curious about it because im looking for a cheap board that I can upgrade from a sempron to a AMD64 later on if needed and this board looks pretty nice for its price.. But I havent really read up much on these types of boards soo if anyone would like to take some time out to fill me in on this then please do! lol

You would have to buy the add on 939CPU Board to be able to upgrade to a socket 939 CPU:

Asrock makes a motherboard with both sockets already installed:

Personally, I would not consider either of these boards.
