SO...what you're saying is:

1) find a AM2 motherboard with the features you want/need

2) look for the version of Athlon64 x2 that has the AM2 socket (newegg has
both - Socket AM2 and Socket 939)

3) Pray that you already have DDR ram....given that the best
price/performance now is DDR2 - this doesn't seem like 'big news' for
those wishing to purchase a system from the 'ground up'?

Am I missing something? - dave
