Persuade me why I should go Socket 775

[bradmax57]

Ok a bit of a long storey but ive managed to get a brand new vapochill xe II for £150 less than retail price, only thing is its a s775 version so originally i was going to buy the s939 kit and convert it and still make a saving, now im looking at getting a intel 6xx and possibly a Epox EP-5LWA+ although will need new ram aswell, what would be anyones cpu and mobo suggestions for me to swap from my current dfi nf4 and 3700sd, I would have prefered ddr 1 board but will happily change if needed

I thought the XEII used a universal kit adaptable to all sockets...

im not sure im allowed to say sorry, it was end of stock, they obviously wanted to get rid of it, anyway im pretty sure rather than mess with the socket design im going to swap over to socket 775

Get 775 to be different. Everyone and their mom and grandma has a DFI + 939.
