BTW, I hope you didn't take offense to my prior posts.
I just didn't want to see you go down Socket-462 which is _dead_.

AMD has Socket-754 planned out until next year, it's not dying at all.
Socket-462 basically died last year, and as of now, is no longer being
manufactured.

Yes, I have said I don't think Socket-754 is worth it versus Socket-939,
but that _assumes_ you're buying a new, higher-end PCIe card and power
supply already.  If you already have an AGP card, and you want to save
money on the PS, etc..., then Socket-754 with Sempron is a good move.

Especially now that Sempron is available in x86-64 -- at least for those
of us running Linux.

P.S.  Has everyone noted how many pieces of hardware and software are
now saying "not supported by XP 64-bit"?  He he he.  ;->
