That being said... the last 3 computers I owned, I bought in 2002, 2006, 2012.
So not really a big deal to me, since I only do big upgrades, and every time I get a new computer/upgrade,
every major component needs to be replaced to not have my system bottlenecked.
But for those that do small upgrades every few years, I can understand.
