Couple questions:

1) Are you dead set on AMD? The Q6600 is very easily overclockable to 3.0GHz+ with only air cooling, has 8MB of L2 cache instead of 2MB, is faster in every gaming benchmark I've seen and is cheaper. Just sayin...

2) How much RAM? If you're doing 4GB, there's not much point in spending more money and suffering the potential driver/software headaches of 64-bit. If you're doing >4GB, definitely need 64-bit to even recognize it.
I do love AMD, been using them since I won one at a give away when I was like 13 or something. I'm not planning on hitting overclocking hard. I meen should I? will it help much?

I was planing on having 4 gigs of memory also, why is going over that bad? (Seriously I'm a windows NUB on anything past 2k it seems)

And ya I remember compiling 64 bit Kernal stuff on my Optron server back in the day and crying over Linux driver problems I'd hate to see windows one's even thouh I'm sure they have some fixs al-be-it dirty ones.
