sorry to post another upgrade post but i am so there!
my current set up is a amd 3000+ on a cheap foxcon board oced to 1995mhz (with water) i cant oc it more due the mobo and i want to go duel core and faster! i have looked around a bit and i think seeing as i am going to need to change my mobo and cpu staying with 939 might be short sighted a swich to 775 seems the logical step and seeing as i am poor at the moment i was thinking

or
Corsair 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR2 667MHz 2x64Mx64 non-ECC £89.72 inc VAT
