On the other hand I also read that motherboards for the conroe are more expensive than AM2 motherboards, but that was some time ago, don't know how it is today.

Found this interesting chart tho.

EDIT: I also think it might be better to take 4x 512 to get to 2 GB memory, use that with Dual Channel and you'll get better speeds than 2 x 1 GB and it might be even cheeper.
Intel is not what i want, it's just... ucky. For some reason i dislike it, and there is the price diffirence (small, but it is there). And no, atleast over here, a 4x 512 is more expensive then a 2x 1024 and the diffirence in performance couldn't be tht big.

Edit: Looks like this is turning into a AMD vs. Intel/nVidea vs. ATi discussion :p

I haven't been active here in ages.
If you're wondering who i am, read my reputations. I used to make plugins, skins and spam the IRC channels here back in the good old days before Windows Live.
