All upgrading the processor is going to do is make it run faster, and that's  
not going to significantly affect longevity in terms of being able to run new  
software. In fact, from my understanding, processor speeds have pretty much  
stagnated in the past decade or so; speeds still go up, but it's a lot more  
marginal than it used to be and there's now more of an emphasis on making  
software more efficient, or in some cases doing things that use a lot of RAM  
to reduce CPU workload a bit.

By the way, Chris, don't you think the site should say how many cores all the  
processors have? It seems it's not listed how many cores are on the i3, i5,  
and i7 processors lately; you have to look them up yourself to find out.  
Number of cores is usually more relevant to understanding how fast it is than  
clock rate.
