Admit it, you're tempted. That rage is just a cover.

So much less boring than buying junk that has been besmirched by a half-eaten apple badge.

I consider a half-eaten apple as one-tenth of my five-a-day, and therefore good.

I don't think I've ever actually upgraded a CPU without a motherboard change anyway. Graphics cards, a couple of times I have though.

I've done it a few times. Frustrating that they keep changing the sockets (but understandable, I guess).

The biggest advantage of sockets is that it makes it far easier to choose the board you want and the CPU that you want when you upgrade your PC. If CPUs become soldered to boards, shops will keep less varieties etc. in stock and the choice you have at upgrade time will diminish IMO.
Imagine the stock levels necessary to keep 10 motherboards with 10 different types of CPUs soldered to them all available!

Yes, that is true. I think the article I first read was talking more about upgrading the CPU but motherboard selection would also be an issue if it's soldered to the board.

I hope this does not happen, I get such a buzz from upgrading and building bespoke computers and find you can always get good resale value for 1. Year old decent components.
I knew intel would be the death of the enthusiasts.

I meant that they are much in line with MS and want to simplify everything for the non techy world i.e. Windows 8.
