I read a description of the reasoning behind upgradeable CPUs in PC Magazine a few months ago. Their conclusion was, it made sense if you were planning to do a CPU swap within a few months of buying the machine. Otherwise the benefit was questionable: if you decided to upgrade the CPU a year or two down the track, you'd still be stuck with a video system, disk controller and so on that were old technology.
