I recently bought a Shuttle SK21G and paired it up with a Sempron and a gig of ram for a small, cheap, functional, quiet pc.

It has been a couple of months since then, and today I came across what looks to be a pretty good deal on newegg; something that, to me, would be worth the performance boost.

I tried doing some research, but on the Shuttle site under processor, it lists only "Sempron? Processor (Socket 754) 2500+ ~ 3700+ CPU support"

So my question is this: Would that Socket 754 Athlon work in my Shuttle, or am I going to have to spend almost twice as much to get the equally clocked Turion?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It will work, it won't really be that much of an upgrade unless you're overclocking it.
