    You would hope anyone building a system would have done their research and would have known that new chips were coming.

    Really, the jokes on the people who by this new socket. I hear that eventually it well be replaced with something even newer! I'm waiting until 2019, when there will be no more computer upgrades (society will collapse July 17th, 2019, ending all new product development short of the flint arrowhead)

    I'd rather see FB-DIMMs

    A maximum of 192 GB of RAM... Is that enough for windows Vista?

    So Im happy as hell with my X2 4800+ and 3GB of DDr1 with Nforce4 chipset and 2TB of disk space and Geforce 7800 GTX and will be for quite some time to come.

    Geez, how could you not be happy with that system? Must be kinda noisy, though.

    I can scan for viruses, rip a cd, and play a top end game concurrently without a glitch or slow down

    If you ran linux you wouldn't have to worry about the virus scanner.

    I guess you would'nt have to worry about the game either...
