It is a crap shoot.  Some models of Tyan boards, for instance, get
updates for seemingly ever, other models they orphan in as few as 18
months.  I would expect other OEMs to be the same.   There is actually
allot about this on the Asterisk list,  since bus timing issues and the
like matter a great deal more when you want the system to process
real-time or quasi-real-time information - a shocking number of PC
implementations of the PCI bus have problems doing more that a handful
of VOIP connections.
