Right now everything is about to change; AMD's 64FX is getting a new socket soon; Intel is releasing a new line(2 if tejas counts) of processor's. Your best bet is to save the money now, as hard as it is, and wait till everything gets straightened out. By next summer we might even see BTX comps and PCI Express take over. Who knows, but its not like when the Athlon XP and P4 478 started anymore. Something big is going to change soon, wether its form factor, or slots, you might want to wait a few more months to see.
but if u're too impatient to wait,maybe u can go AMD style? a 2500+ Barton is nice or maybe a 2200 with hm..epox mobo? any good quality ram above PC3500 would do nice
