Had a search of the forums and couldn't really find the answer to my question. With Vista just around the corner, and considering their strict silencing issues, am I better off upgrading my system from 939 to AM2, awaiting Quad core before purchasing Vista? I am wanting to upgrading to Quad sometime soon after its release but I'm not wanting to pay an excess for another Vista lisence just for upgrading a motherboard and CPU.

I kept the same copy of XP across 4-5 major computer upgrades. I guess the extra premium of buying the Retail version instead of OEM pays off sometimes.

Of course even with OEM you 'can' change the motherboard, you just have to phone Microsoft Support and tell them your old board fried, and you need windows reactivating. Being a typical 'far east' call centre, they dont ask many questions.

Just the words I wanted to hear, I'll place a pre-order now :)
