Define obsolete. Is there something you cannot do?

One video gotcha I had: I got an MSI AMD 64 with video card and
memory as a set from Fry's. I couldn't get it to POST. I took it to
their service area and they told me my video and memory were not good
enough to operate the MB. No apology from them for selling me junk.
I bought their recommended video and memory, played with it for a few
days, and took the MB back.
