I'm planning on building another Highend Desktop - or dual CPU server (not sure which right now) but I heard that some of Intels chipsets might be dropped soon. Which ones? Which ones are supposed to last longer?
I was able to find LGA 775, 1156, and 1366 (single CPU) and LGA 1366, 771, and 603/604 (dual CPU)
Answer
There is no such thing as a "future proof" Intel socket. Intel changes their sockets all the time. The Sandy Bridge products should be hitting the shelves in Q1 of 2011. There is an article on the new sockets here. Wikipedia already has a list of what to expect here.
If you can stand waiting for a few months to get a new computer, I would wait for Sandy Bridge to come out. You can either go with the latest, or buy last generation on a discount.
