True, but IMO, I think 2 gigs of ram is just overkill if all you are doing is basic home computing and playing games. Plus, upgrading to ram in the future is a lot easier. You just buy a stick of put it in the slot, no big deal. But getting a s754 cpu stops you from upgrading in the future to a s939. If you wanted to, that would mean getting a whole ne mobo and all that stuff, just a lot more work then there needs to be. So I would suggest getting a s939 cuz 1 gig is MORE than enough for the things you will be doing. And it's easy to upgrade to more in the future anyway.
