Too bad im on a 1000$ budget..and a 160$ 3800 x2 is alot less than a 350$ duo.

edit- 122$

After some thought and discussion with a few different people I came up with this.

AM2 X2 4200+- 220$
OCZ26671024ELGEGXT 1G DDR2-667 Dual Channel Gold GX Edition (4-4-4-12) -130$
ASUS M2N-E -115$
ATI Sapphire 1600XT-150$
LG Dual layer dvd writer- 36$
WD 160GB HD- 75$
Enermax Noisetaker II EG495P-VE 485W Power Supply (20/24, Dual-fan)- 85$
Case-50$

Most people have told me that although there arnt any performance gains with AM2..there arnt that many losses either and going with AM2 might be a good descision for the future.
