Joe - Re:"In real world, a person would extend life of the system, near it's end, by buying a newer CPU, and plugging it to the existing system."

The more likely result is that the "old" PC will get downgraded to another use. This is what happens in many families of home users and it for sure happens in businesses.

Re: "The LAST 370 chip set was released in 2001 - NOT in 2000.
And it supports the Tualatin. To me, that's the current version."

Congratulations - you have achieved the perfect imitation of Ban Ban Talidan.

Re: "Besides, only under Inteletubie logic does one buy a CPU with a motherboard, and later rips out the motherboard from the case, replace the motherboard, but keeps the CPU."

Perfect BAIT AND SWITCH - you have now changed the subject AWAY from upgrading to a new CPU - to upgrading to a new motherboard.
