As long as you can keep it cool, overclocking becomes exponential. Hopefully motherboards will be made with infinite core support (any # of cores is fine on motherboard). That way you wouldn't have to buy a new motherboard so often.

Funny you should say that. I've decided that I'm not going to upgrade my CPU (amd 64 X2 4800+) Until I can get a 8 core.
