I like to buy boards with wide CPU compatibility (which means something like ASUS, not Intel), stick a cheap commodity CPU on it (like a Celeron) to begin with and then when the price of the top-end chip for that platform has fallen to pennies on the dollar, scoop one up and sell the old one. People who pay hundreds of dollars extra to have ie a P4 2.2 Ghz chip instead of a 2.0 Ghz chip really should have their head examined, unless they're in some hyper-competitive field (computer animation, scientific data modeling) where cost is no object. -- Philip J.
