A decade later? You should buy a new computer.

Very excellent example Sam, couldn't have said it better myself.
For us who desire libre computing that simply won't be an option, 4
years from now when the KGPE-D16 is a 10 year old motherboard you will
only be able to buy ME/PSP junk or expensive POWER servers which while
lacking a supervisor processor certainly aren't libre...yet (as no-one
who is able to is willing to fund development)
I have an 8 year old server myself, there isn't any reason to buy a new
one as it isn't being used for anything that needs super juice.
