    None right now. Though in the next month or so they'll release it on their Socket 939 platforms, which means you'll have to pay about $150 for the mobo plus about $600 for a Skt 939 processor. Oh, and they'll probably only support DDR2, so that's another $400.

    This is not to say that later this year or maybe 2nd quarter of next year that AMD does not come out with a Socket 754 mobo w/ PCi Express and DDR2 support. By then Socket 754s will probably be around a manageable price. I think AMD is going to be going with the Skt 939s for their high end stuff (Think XP) and the Skt 754s for their low end stuff (Think Duron), though the Durons and XP CPUs will be supported til 2k5 and Duron is being replaced by the Semprons.
