buy a socket 939 to AM2 adapter

but not sure if this adapter was made or not :D

but if u say ur processor got burnt then d chaces of ur mobo surviving d harm is pretty slim,

get it checked before buyin d new processor

Get a new mobo too.. No use investing in dead technology.

yup, search ebay and international sites too tigerdirect and all.
but new mobo+proc is recommended, good mobo based on AMD690G or 690V may come in 2.5k easily.
