As mentioned above, PCI-E will not make it to the SocketA platform. No existing chipsets support it, and no new chipsets are coming out for SocketA (even if they did, you'd be better off upgrading to Socket754 anyway)

Being brand specific IS pretty dumb... especially now that you can't really go wrong with any high-end purchase you make. Thing is, people have a hard time admiting they've been taken for a fool, and defend their purchase vigorously even if the facts point otherwise.

Dual Layers media is pricey 'cos they're essentially hand-made up to this point... due to their nature it is very difficult to mass produce them, hence the high price tag. Don't expect them to turn cheap anytime soon, it's gonna take a lot longer than plain DVD-R discs did.
On the subject...

He got his 3.4GHz Prescott up to 5.2GHz (306fsb) using a Prommie MachII GT and OCZ psu.

I went from a Triplex 9500 Pro to a GeCube X800 Pro on 4.7 Cats w/ no prob whatsoever, apparently though they didn't like my Gigabyte 9800 Pro... go figure
Must be vendor specific whether it will work or not :rolleyes:
