can i use a amd athlon x2 processor in my 939 socket motherboard, ive noticed some 939 socket dual core procesors but will AM2 socket processors work in my motherboard??

Yes, you can use a X2 CPU, but it might require a BIOS update.

No, 939 and AM2 are two totally different animals.

ok is it like putting a 939 socket processor in a 754 socket motherboard?

Yes, socket 939 and AM2 are physically different. You MIGHT be able to get the processor to fit into the socket (after breaking off pins and whatever), but don't expect it to work.
