To all the core i7 owners here, how many years do you think your core i7 rigs will last? In the following context:
- 1. the hardware remaining in working condition.
- 2. the hardware being able to match the increasing requirements of software.
Here hardware refers only to the psu, mobo, proccy, hdd and ram. (since gpu will probably have to be upgraded in 2-3 years at the maximum)

1.) Well, i will use my core i7 system till its last drop of working voltage..
(i was able to run and still maintain to run my p4, 2.0Ghz system on a 7600GS 256MB AGP card and 4x512MB DDR-1 (400)RAM) along with this core i7 system (see siggy) ... so i think its not the point of how much time the hardware will last but how ppl use it..
I use my p-4 2Ghz system everyday for 20hrs (for tor*3nt$ stuff)
