I would have done if i did.
you would regret c2d just as much as intel will obsolete it soon enough 
c2d isnt fast enough to upgrade from a 939/am2 system but whatever is next from intel/amd should be a nice jump from 939 and c2d.
we think dual core is slow because nothing utilises it properly yet. what will come of the slower clocked quad cores which nothing will utilise properly either .

the exact reason i still have this athlon in my system instead of C2D, upgrade to C2 seemed somewhat pointless
I bought my X2/Opteron while stocks were vanishing (fully aware that 939 was going dead end) and I have no regrets. Cheap and quick upgrade and multitasking is considerably quicker. 939's got life in it, performance wise
A 20second Pi 1M would be nice, but last time I checked, my computer's primary use wasn't benchmarks...

Not in entire agreement, C2D still oblitirates x2 AMD for Encoding, I couldnt believe the difference from my old 3800 x2 Compared to my current C2D 6700 granted huge leap even for those different chips. But the Quads are meant to be even netter again.
