Question is Edward am I a 'mainsteam masses' or a 'high end masses'... ;)

All this ****ing around with sockets is a pain in the butt. Why do they not find a road map and stick to it and allow us consumers the chance to choose a board before they change it AGAIN! I once got caught out by AMD in this manner and was well chuffed off. All we need now is the new HDMI 1.4/1.3 spec mixed in and we have a nice leettle confusion building up.

Where's my 6502 gone...

Same here. I went out & bought a nice shiny new AMD socket 939 motherboard, processor & DDR memory, just before they announced that all future cpu's would be for the AM2 platform. *Sigh*.

Not sure if the upgrade path is that much of an issue really...I don't think I've ever been able to justify a cpu only upgrade. Then again it really depends on how 'crippled' or slower the i5's are. Or what's post i7 and which socket will that want?

Wow, dig the 1990s style 3 PCI slots. More PCI 4/8 slots please.

Replacing 775 had to be done in this instance - putting the memory controller in the CPU meant it needed more pins. i7 is a Server processor that happens to be sold for the desktop as a halo exercise - emphasis will be much more on the i5 going forward, with little (if any) difference in performance between the two for most users.

Even with the i5, I'm still struggling to see a reason to replace my overclocked Q9450.

Is it me, or are those PCI-E/PCI slots too far back?

CPU sockets staying the same never worked because they always upgraded the FSB, even if you had a Socket A for your Athlon 1.2Ghz you couldn't stick a socket A Athlon XP 2500+ in it because it couldn't handle the 400Mhz FSB.
