That's precisely correct! On one board I went through three cpus, three video cards, and two pairs of dimms. I just finished a new build with the AMD64 3200+ to replace the maxed out Socket A case where that happened. That started off with the Atholon XP2600+ to the 3000+ and then to the top of the line(then) XP3200+. At that point the next step was to jump over the S754 boards to the S939 models. The wait now is for the Opteron 185 to drop far enough in price for the next build along with the ATI X1900 XT model. Though I wouldn't be going with Crossfire there.
