 Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2006 11:21 pm Post subject: Why no K8NGM2-FID board available? Is there something wrong |
 |
|
Hi,
After much reading I determined that the K8NGM2-FID was the best
motherboard for use in my new Media Center PC. I've been waiting 3
weeks for them to be in-stock at New Egg. Now they aren't even listed
on New Egg's site. They are backordered at ZipZoomFly also.
What's up with this? Is there some problem with the board?
Is there someplace else that is reputable that has them in stock?
Thanks!!!

NewEgg appears to have discontinued the item. Probably because MSI is
no longer making them... Socket 939 has been replaced by AM2.
Check this thread at Anandtech:

It has a section on "Choosing a GeForce 6150 Board". You might find
an even better board there. |

Thank you very much for your reply. I didn't realize the board was
discontinued and that 939 was replaced by AM2. I should have seen this
while researching the motherboard options. I'll pick a decent AM2-based
board. Thank you!!!!

The K8NGM2-NBP is the board that replaced the K8NGM2-FID very similar.

That's the security model for corporate networks with the built in
security key hardware. It doesn't have as many HTPC features as
the -FID model eg no firewire, less video outputs, no raid 5 etc.
It's for office clones.
The -FID model is out of stock because it's October and all the kids
bought computers for school; esp since AMD cpu prices are dirt cheap
right now. Not to mention everyone is buying them up for cheap
HTPCs since the Media Industry nazis (ohmagod that word) won't sell
you a decent HDTV tuner these days unless you get it as a PCI board.
Bottom line though, socket 939 is going away fast. They may not be
making any more of those motherboards when the pipeline is dry.
The good news is there is a MSI AM2 6150 version, the bad news is
it's not listed anymore at newegg either.
Perversely, the Asus 6150 motherboard is available in both 939 and
AM2 versions at newegg. Of course, no one wanted the crippled Asus
version.
PS if you want DDR ram sticks, you better get them soon also.
Prices are rising and most good models are out of stock. |
