Alway's wise to add what your PC will be used for and your budget.

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB) £36.41 inc VAT

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz (Socket AM2) - OEM £86.94 inc VAT

I have this mobo, works well for me, however Id recommend a decent CPU cooler (and another 2GB of ram if you want and are using vista 64)

If you want bang for buck, buy an E2180 and overclock it.

lets say i get the e2180 to 3ghz would this still be better than the amd counterpart?
