The 754 boards are a single buss board so you won't see the performance of the 939 based boards. You will also have a limited upgrade path. No Dual core and a hard limit on processor upgrades. Save your money for the 939 based ones. They are far from cutting edge at this point. Just the Dual core chips are. Chris Miguel Vigil wrote: > Chris, > > Thanks for all your info on these matters.
