I'm gonna be getting a new computer pretty soon and so far getting a 2500+ Mobile and OC'ing it looks to be the best buy. But in your opinion, how long will it be before XP processors turn obsolete? I don't have enough money to be majorly upgrading every year. In two years, a major upgrade would be possible but I'd like to hold out until Christmas 2006 or summer 2007. This is my system:
Abit nf7-s mobo
2500+ mobile overclocked to 2.4 ghz
Gig of mushkin ram
The rest of the stuff isn't important, I can deal with an hdd or dvd drive being slower than the fastest of the time. Video cards are constantly advancing so I'll likely be upgrading every year or so. But with the release of 939 pin, it looks like XPs will become obsolete soon. In two or more years, I'll probably upgrade to a PCI-express mobo and a 64 bit processor, but will my system last till then?
