Good point, the Intel's have the socket and/or RAM changes, while the AMD's with the VIA chipset go through the KT133/133A, KT266/266A, and now the KT333 which I'm sure the 333A will be just around the corner. Sure, maybe a better upgrade path, but you're going to want the swap out the board (and possibly RAM) anyway to max out performance.

Looking at how this particular machine is to be used, upgrade path should be a low priority.
