If you will be upgrading processor again soon might aswell go 939.
If not get the cheaper option.
You'll have to get a new motherboard when you want a 939 but if thats not in the near future its not really a problem anyway.

There was a price difference, thats what made me think twice - the new athlon is the 939 though - just not sure what to do.

not worth upgrading to sempron as for the money theres will be no real diff. either get a newer athlon XP or save and upgrade to a 939socket m'board

Is that the same on the majority of mobos then?

There should still be the usual 2 ide connectors even on a sata board.
Some new boards have 24 pin power supplys instead of 20.

Yeah my RAM is Non-reg and Non-EEC. Is it likely the power connector will change even with the same brand mobo?

Trouble im seeing is a lot of the new mobos are using SATA whereas im still using IDE at the minute.

If the memory fits and it most likley will unless its the registered stuff you were asking about that should be it yip.
Check your power supply has the proper connector.

Im currently running an AMD Athlon XP1800+ CPU on a Gigabyte GA-76XE mother board but want to upgrade to a newer Sempron CPU and newer Gigabyte mobo. Is it as easy as stripping whats on my current board and then after changing the board, replacing the gear and loading up the BIOS setting again?

Ben.
