ASRock mATX boards for 939

[Grimgoth]

Hi was wondering if anybody had any experience with these boards,
the 939S56-M (PCI-E), and the 939A8X-M (AGP).
what I am wanting to know is: space
the agp version seems to have the cpu socket closer to the middle of the board, whereas the PCI-E version it is closer to the edge. and since I have yet to own a socket 939 board, those black things surrounding the cpu are the heatsink mounting brackets right? (no need to look for mounting holes like in the socket A). just making sure to see what heatsinks can go on top of those.
thanks

hi, i used the pci-e for a while, yes the black things surrounding the pcu are the heatsink mounting brackets, and any 939 cpu heatsink will fit

hi, thanks
a further question, since i seem to recall you bought a sugo too as well

do you know when installed, how much clearance there is from the middle of the cpu to the edge of the mobo/ side of the sugo case there is? wondering how wide a zalman heatsink you can get in there
been staring at the manuals and hoping that the things are drawn to scale, but....
