now for processors you have lots of choices.
and as for ram, the question is what is your primary goal? Games or Benchmarks or Crunching?
Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

- Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Socket AM2, (easelly ocable to 2.5-2.8Ghz with Air).
- 2Gb kit of DDR2-800 Mushkin, stock latencies around 4-4-3 (dont remember exact product code but its XP series) goes to 1100+ with 5-5-5
Not bad at all, but... its single core witch sucks.
