Gerald, I think we are heading towards never upgraded boards taking a large part of the bottom end as costs tumble. Elimination of the socket and associated tradeoffs can save $50 per board in a P-II. A circuit board laid out on the motherboard with traces to the ship set would save that $50.A rigid thermal base is no problem. I am surprised that no-one does it now. Does Intel sell the dice? Possibly some high end applications do it? A volkswaagen motherboard, good stable computing for ten years, what a horrible thought. We are as dependent on programmed obsolescence as the auto giants were in the 50/60 era until the volkwagon came along. How would intel face a world where a computer was good for five years, let alone ten, and MSFT?. Bill
