I'm building a machine for the first time and I had a question about motherboards and how easy it is to upgrade the cpu. For instance, there are some motherboards available with FSB speeds of 1333 Mhz. If I buy a Core 2 Duo now and later decide to upgrade, what is the possiblity that these boards will support CPUs not yet released that will run on 1333 Mhz FSB? I know that some boards that supported the Pentium D do not support Core 2 Duos. Does this happen often? In other words, if I buy a motherboard today, is it likely that it won't support CPUs released in 2008 or even late 2007? What would be the point, then, of buying a motherboard with FSB speeds of 1333 MHz?

Thanks for the input.

Scott
