they will be completely outdated and you wont be able to upgrade. socket 775 is on its way out. but i also remember reading that a second socket, LGA1160 will debut sometime next year that also uses core i7.

Prices are what they are, get a REAL job and learn to speak and type, it'll make it easier to order the cheaper parts, when and if...

775 has been out FOUR plus years, with the new CPU standard emerging December 2008, NOW would be the time to get a P45 motherboard and an E8500 CPU, something I've just done, in two years when I'm looking to upgrade, the new CPU/Motherboard/Memory standards will be where I can afford them!

QUOTE" I've been told by the school system that doesn't want to do it's job, and the psychologist they hired to protect their decisions, that I'M Dyslectic, and I don't have to deal with the real world because I was told I didn't have to." You have a decision to make, do you want to fall back on "I can't do it because I was told I couldn't", or do you want to push through and TRY HARDER... Your decision...

I have good news for you then, Mom and Dad are still footing the bill so you dont need a 'decent' job, any job will do just fine. Plenty of driveways to be shoveled and lawns to be mowed.

Is 775 dead, not yet.
Would I buy a 775 system today, yes.
Will prices drop, they always do.
Will I ever buy sunbeamtech rubber screws no they all break when you try to pull them through the fan holes.
Will I ever buy Asus NO! Because they sent me 5 bad motherboards in a row and it took them 6 months to send me a good working motherboard.
Someday I might buy a Nehalem system, I'm guessing about the same time as Windows 7 hits retail.
