ok, so a while a go i looked at this overheating HP and thought, i need a new pc
back then, PCI Express was still "rumorish" along with DDR2, and AMD Athlon FX 51 was "the best"
now, a couple months later, socket 939 is just around the corner, PCI Express is leaking all over the web, and DDR2 is appearing to be like the miracle worker of ram
my planned config was macho and beefy and all, then i realized, a month after i buy it, its going to become obsolete and UNUPGRADEABLE!! which is exactly what i dread since it always happens when i get a PC. should i wait a while and buy a PC with all those new technologies then, so that a couple years later i won't have a large brown slot with 8X written all over it that i cannot do anything to improve sitting on my mobo, as well as an obsolete cpu socket (amd said it themselves, with FX53 S940 dies and S939 comes out)
not to mention the promised "1337ness" of PCI-E16x and DDR2
someone help me here
