did you even read the OP's post and further reply to the use of his DDr2 ram?
you are totaly correct, get a 940BE and a AM2+ board,
some of the AM2+ boards can be had for cheap now, and the no garenteed overclock extra of a C3 965, does not justify the price differance.
the 940's are great chips, most peeps hit 3.5 gig easy, with 2400 mhz NB
some peeps get more, like 3.8 gig stable.
dont be fooled by the new revision C3 silicon, it gave no major advantages other than a couple of hundred Mhz'z
but is noted to have major problems hitting high NB's frequencys, which is of course needed to get the most from that g skill ddr2 you got
