It is true socket M2 probably won't offer any tangible performance upgrades. BUT! It will be future proof where as socket 939 will/might be relegated to the low end a la socket 754. I believe this argument holds plenty of water.

With regards to which cards limits refresh rates at high resolutions, I might be wrong and frankly I am too lazy to dig up the article about it. So yeah this argument might not hold much water.

Also, last time I checked, I do not see any retail x1800xt at any of the major online stores (Eggy, ZZF...) So I am not sure what you meant by "available world wide as of today." So again this argurment holds plenty of water.

Glad you only shop at two stores. Try www.allstarshop.com and in Europe they've been shipping. Do your homework son
