Shortly after I upgraded from the AT to the AT-X hardware the Pentium P4 hit the market. ARRGH.... My case does not have the four screw studs for the P4 cooling fan, but my power supply does have the extra P4 connector. Although the P4 hardware is standard now, I bet some AMD and Celeron based systems have cut costs. So some of these systems will not be easy to upgrade to P4.
AMD: Great products but the company is sitting on a mountain of debt.
Will they be in buisness when you want to upgrade?
Can they afford to keep up with Intel?
Intel: Sitting on a mountain of cash.
Will the next P4 or P5 be compatible with your current hardware?
