Hey, I never knew that, coz he never mentioned it. But the X2's his best bet then.

Yup, just saw that, no FX for me too.

Your budget is a bit like mine.

I was looking for a ±1200$ CAD computer and found one. (It's 1400$ with taxes)

Here it is :
Antec Sonata II
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800
Asus A8R-MVP
Asus AX1600 Pro 256Mb
Corsair TwinX 1024MB PC3200
NEC 3450 DVDRW
Floppy drive
WD 200GB SATA2

Yes you can find A8R-MVP (ATi Crossfire chipset). In my case it's a special order but it's cheaper than A8N-E.
