Whenever I swapped it was generally in big leaps, which meant different sockets, including a switch from Intel to AMD. It also usually meant another video card since I went through VLB (remember that?), PCI, AGP and PCI-X. And memory, through FPM, EDO, SDRAM, DDR and DDR2.
yea, i got lucky... if i upgrade(just the cpu) i figure that i could stand this computer an extra year before a total upgrade. (doing that would be nice because by then i could possibly get the new robson tech with my next pc)[like end 2007 1st quarter 2008]
