I'd definitely go with the duron. for most people outside of hobbyists upgrade path isn't an issue because they'll just go buy a brand new piece of crap to replace their aging piece of crap. they are uneducated in this, but not stupid. if you build her system and tell her it won't need to be replaced when it gets old, she just needs to give you a call and you'll tell her what cpu to buy for it, she will understand and see the value in this. and I think those on the board agree that the duron has the brightest upgrade path. so I would suggest go for the upgrade path, save your sister some money in the future. not to mention the fact that you stated socket A is within your comfort zone. why leave it then?
