    If you consider overclocking then Pentium E2xxx is the best CPU for the price, without competition.
    Someone asked about cheap mainboard.

    Biostar 945P-A7A V8.X, $38
    It does over 1200MHz FSB, so there are very cheap mainboards with great OC headroom for the budget Core2 Duos.

    But hey, let's look at AMD platform... wow 40$ for a mobo, excellent performance (equal to the 100$ mobo) and even some overclocking :P

    Mobos don't need to be expensive, they never were but the last couple of years the prices been spiking to 300$ and above... That's just crazy...
    Ive never seen a am2 amd board for $40.
    Thanks

    That's because enthusiasts have been asking so much more from enthusiast mobo makers. Like the use of solid-state caps, more demanding power regulation and cooling requirements, more complicated/compatible/feature rich BIOS support (even for CPUs they're not required to support), LAN and sound has become standard, more quality diodes, more convenient user features like diagnostics LEDs and on-board power switches, among many other things users have been demanding over the years.

    i think i may pair one of these up with my current DS3, and use it for testing and reviewing, and then get one of the 45nm core 2 duos and the P35 DS3 when they are released for my gaming rig
