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.
