AMD socket 754 vs. socket 939 - what's the difference?

[BlkGT]

I see the front side bus speed is increased,not sure exactly what advantages
that has either. pls help a new guy. =)

performance about the same. 939 has more future compatibility.

0.09 CPUs are not available for the Socket-754 platform.

A very comprehensive comparison between sockets 754 and 939, as well as 130nm(Newcastle) versus 90nm(Winchester) can be found here

Watching over Gotham City...hey it's dark out here

What Chips are u planning to run if I may ask?
Sempron, Athlon 64, Athlon FX or Opteron
Depending on the Chip U Want also has a impact
on what socket u need

No. Only Opteron 2xx and 8xx have multiprocessing support.
