if you're replacing your motherboard (I assume you are) then that's what I'd go for as your 754 MB will (hopefully) give you more future upgradability:
current top end 754 is "AMD Athlon 64 3700 Clawhammer 130nm (Socket 754) - Retail (CP-087-AM)" - around £300 but in 2 years will be £100ish .
current top end socket A is the Athlon XP 3200 which is where AMD have stopped Athlons at and note that Semprons 3100 and above are socket 754!!!
so on a socket A MB you have almost no upgrade path.
