Opteron or Athlon?

[pengwin]

for the price of 235 for the CPU i ratehr save up like 50 more bucks are get a 3800 X2

i dunno goin dual opties sounds real good
but its pricy

i had this in mind for an athlon processor

Abit KN8 SLi
3200+ Venice
1 GB Kingston HyperX (u guys say kingston blows so i'll get corsair XMS or OCZ about the same price few dollar difference)
6800GS

if i could get one opty and RAM and a 6800GS for around 700 bucks i would go opties but an opty mobo is very expensive compared to the Abit KN8

Links:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice: Link $166.00
ABIT KN8-SLI: Link $109.99
Crucial Ballistix 512MB x2: Link $105.00
nVidia 7800GT: Link $$285.00

That system is under $700 and you get a better video card than the 6800GS and the RAM is great.
