$600

[badninja3]

hmm. i guess ill just wait until i get like $800 or more. shouldnt take me too long. i guess waiting for am2 would make my money last longer aswell.(assuming i buy s939 stuff)

well, im just keeping my options open. but i think i will stick with amd. cuz they are much simpler.
intel has all these chipsets, ddr2 standards, heat differences, etc.
and their mobos are hard to figure out. like idk how to get crossfire on an intel board.
but the only reason i am even considering intel, is cuz it has cheap dual cores.

Well if you really want to go budget..

As someone mentioned ealier its the 805. And no, its not worth the difference. I mean, it will work and such, but Its really a budget cpu. Maybe for like a 500 or less dollar computer. But the one I reccomended to you, the 820 I think would be much better.
