You are describing the CPU price only. I mean whole system price. =
You want to buy a name brand like Dell or HP, right?
I just went to dell.com. You can get an E510 with a dual core =
Pentium D 820 and 2GB or RAM for $605 plus tax.

Rich,
Reasonable: Take the difference in price for an AMD X2 processor =
versus non-X2 at=20
same speed and I would expect to pay what Dell/HP/etc charge for a =
regular PC plus=20
the price difference I see for regular AMD versus AMD X2 processors =
on Pricewatch.
For example, Pricewatch:
http://www.pricewatch.com/cpu/
shows the Athlon 64 x2 3800 dual core at $296 as compared to the =
Athlon 64 3800 at=20
$284.
In other words: I want to pay what the biggies would charge if they =

a motherboard=20
that can take 4 gigs isn't much more (in tens of dollars) as =

take 2 gigs of RAM.
