If I were to purchase an LGA 775 MB (P5AD2 Premium), w/ a 3.0 GHz processor,
what would be the processor upgrade capabilities down the road? With the news
of Intel's problems with the Pentium 4, won't it's upgrade capabilities be
limited?
 
Yes, but from what I'm hearing there won't be a Pentium 4 at 4 GHz for any
format, so essentially any P4-based system will have "limited" upgrade
capabilities.

In other words: go AMD 64?

AMD 3400+ w/ an Nforce3 chipset, or a Pentium 4 LGA 775 on an P5AD2 board?

The one drawback of the AMD, is the 512k cache. It strikes me as outdated,
integrated memory or not.
