thats called not thinking ahead. there are times when to upgrade or build and times when to wait a bit longer.

I never said his system will be rendered useless, I just said it'll be obsolete. I guess obsolete carries a strong stigma that it is also useless. I just meant something better will be out. Something better is always around the corner though. It's not something that should hinder you from building a machine though, I did tell him to go for it and not think about the future too much.

i dont know what your considering obsolete then, buy a car now, a newer model comes out the following year, doesnt mean its obsolete, doesnt mean it does anything better at all, its just newer.

however, buy a car when theres a major change coming the following year, say they perfect the electrical car that charges it self and never needs fuel... coming out next year and you buy your brand new car this year. thats just poor planning.

The reason I mentioned AMD and DDR2 was the fact their new socket coming out sometime soon will take more advantage of the faster bus speeds and overtime you'll see a larger difference in terms of speed, etc...Just right now its hard to see since I dont think there is many processors at all that take full advantage of DDR2's speeds yet. Hence why sometimes it seems slower then DDR1.
