My guess is that it'll be pushed towards the low-end OEM market
(eMachines et al) while Socket 939 gets reduced in price even more to
the point where the retail difference between 754 and 939 is negligible,
and I'm guessing that'll start happening this year.  Just my
caffeine-overdose-induced chicken-entrails guess though.
