Will it be redundent in six months time thus trapping you in another board + cpu upgrade within a shorter period than you plan? If your going to replace the board, I think you should have a hard look at replacing the cpu and possibly the ram along with it. |

But it's a matter of economics, and short/mid term solution is definitly to provide for existing generation cpu's. |
