Resolved [RESOLVED] Help me do some shoping!

Howdy

Im looking for a new CPU
Ive got 1012 dollars to spend. Would anyone mind helping me choose the best CPU (and eventually a motherboard) I can get for this price?
The motherboard Ive got right now has an AM2 socket, but its alright if the CPU isnt an AM2 socket CPU, I'll just buy a new motherboard (But the totals cant exceed 1012 dollars ).

Thanks!

EDIT: I was looking at this. its about 740.9 dollars, so Id have 270 dollars remaining to buy a Socket 775 motherboard for. What do you guys think?

Re: Help me do some shoping!

sounds good, its dual core. Remember you may need a new CPU fan as dual core may need a faster fan.
