I plan on building a new PC next April-ish. This should be around the time AMD releases their new M2 Socket. This is a hard deadline, I can only upgrade in April (don't ask).
At this time, M2 motherboards will not be of the greatest quality & the X2 5000+ will be extremely expensive. So, I was wondering, with the 4800+ not really differing in performance (I'll assume), should I just go for the old 939 socket mobo? Or in otherwords, should my core componants (mobo & PSU) be easily upgradeable (M2 socket) or should I not bother with M2 and use 939. My logic is that if I went for M2, by the time I would want to upgrade my CPU, there will already be something better out.
I hope that makes sense. I think it boils down to: Should I allow myself CPU upgradeability or, with the pace of change, should I get slightly older stuff for cheap?
On the same topic, what will the advantages be for M2 (besides DDR2 compatibilty & this virtualization stuff)?
