Don't worry about that. Just go AMD and you won't have to worry about changing your motherboard just to get the most current CPU. Plus AMD is cheaper and pretty much onpar with Intel except for maybe the memory performance.

cough**Intel**cough:right:

Here's who I have in my system:

Video: VisionTek GF3 Ti200

Mobo: EpoX (VERY inexpensive boards with performance similar to Abit and Asus)

RAM: Crucial (Micron). Mushkin is good too (and cheaper then Crucial sometimes actually)

CD-RW: Plextor

DVD: Toshiba, Pioneer

HDD: Maxtor, Seagate, IBM (maybe)

Sound: Creative

Speakers: Klipsch. If you can't afford those then maybe Creative of Altec Lansing

Hey youm0nt, go AMD and you can buy a KT333 or KT400 (when it comes out). If you do that, all you have to upgrade is the CPU when something newer comes out.
