I bought an Athlong64 3000+ (2.0 GHz) along with an Asus K8N-E Deluxe 
mobo a while back. To go with it, I got 1GB (two 512MB DIMMs) of DDR 
SDRAM from Crucial. This box screams and the mobo supports all the way 
up to ATA-7 (that's SATA; even has SATA RAID controller on-mobo). 
Pretty cheap, too: I replaced the CPU, mobo and RAM for $500 (kept the 
same disks I was using before). The Athlon64's easily smoke anything 
out there now in their range. If you can go with that, I would highly 
recommend it.
