There have been enough CPU eating Flash and stuff that will make system performance slow enough to be noticed. Also, IIRC AM2 Semprons are not due until after the move to S939 Semprons? And we still don't see S939 Semprons yet.

I actually want a S939 Sempron to hold me over to the X2. I need to find out the HP truck routes and see if one may fall off on the road.

Do I need the rest of the Compaq stuff? Probably not. Besides I'm not in the US. We'd better shut up now because we are going way OT.
