    im planning on getting my self a new toy. im looking at the Dell Inspiron E1501. having a problem deciding between the Sempron Processor and the Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processer. after just having a baby boy, money is a little tight, so i was thinking about cheeping out right now and upgrading to the Turionâ„¢ 64 X2 down the road a bit when there a little cheaper. but im having a hard time finding out what socket the Sempron is running under for a posible processer swap. as far as i can tell the Turion is a socket S1g1. any thoughts or ideas would be most helpfull. Thanx ~ Cam
