Whatever you buy now won't be upgradable to the next version anyway.

And what I was saying is that if, when the 939 chips first came out, you had bought a 3000+, for probably the first time you would be able to upgrade in about a year to the 4800+ (without replacing the motherboard) and see a significant advantage. I think that's cool.

Have you looked at the prices recently? The Barton 3000+ is on Newegg for $120. Or you could buy the 64 bit processor which will have other advantages, for another $25. You also get the advantage of more recent motherboards.

If you were building a new system now, you would really go 32 bit?
