I wouldn't even get an intel motherboard. nForce 650i LGA 775 motherboards seem to be the right choice. AMD prices have gone down even further recently, but Core 2 Duo prices began dropping yet again too. Also, the higher-end Athlon X2s are still almost double the price of their Core 2 Duo equivalents.

Haven't you seen the Core 2 Duo series? They're cheaper AND faster than the current dual-core AMDs. Trust me, this is coming from someone who has always liked AMD in the past, but I'm not a fanboy of either. I just go with whatever is the best deal at the moment.

Motherboards based on Intel chipset is more expensive in combination with processor vs AMD X-serie and motherboard. The thing is these C2D are dragging they can go alot higher with just "basic' aircooling so the C2D is alot better choice.
Core 2 Duo E6320 $163 Athlon 64 X2 5200+ $169
Core 2 Duo E4400 $133 Athlon 64 X2 4800+ $129
Core 2 Duo E4300 $113 Athlon 64 X2 4400+ $115
either way go with the E6320-->4mb cach or E4300 2mb cache
I would get the E4300 with a good cooler
