Now did you upgrade your motherboard because you needed the features that paired will with your CPU or were you forced by a more aggressive socket changing strategy that Intel has been using the last few years despite the stagnation of their product line? i7 has been out for 3 years now and it's already seen 3 different sockets in the desktop space alone, despite the fact that all 3 sockets use similar power, identical memory and architecture.
