Its one thing to have to upgrade RAM and Video Cards every couple of years, but its another thing when the industry forces you to have to reconfigure your entire PC or purchase a new one to keep up with the times.
yeah, i know what you mean, i have an Athlon XP for example and to upgrade it to one past 3200+, i have to get a new motherboard, not to mention paying through my arse for an Athlon 64 chip.
