754 is also AMD (as someone said above I believe) - I'm using an Athlon 64 2800+ in it.
I doubt you'll get any upgradability out socket for a processor, unless you buy another processor relatively soon after buying the first one. Sockets (or all connectors) seem to be getting replaced quicker and quicker now a days. (SATA 2 recently replaced SATA as the 'best', how long was SATA mainstream? a year or so?) When I upgraded, I decided to ditch my motherboard (which was messed up anyway...) and go with a newer socket (which was 754, because most 939 motherboards don't have an AGP slot, and I wasn't replacing my 9800 Pro yet).
Oh, and I also use and like OpenOffice. I find that the stuff makes a lot more sense than Microsoft Word, except styles...haven't quite figured those out yet.
