Ok here's the deal, I got a sick system for basically a steal - Athlon 3200+, gigabyte mobo, 1gb ram in dual channel

I happen to work at Best Buy and became eligable to buy an Asus K8V SE Deluxe mobo and Athlon 64 3200+ for $179 through a retail training program. Unfortunately, I don't think it supports dual channel, just single channel DDR400. Of course, I got it, but I'm wondering if I should just sell it off? Is losing the dual channel worth using the Athlon 64? Please note I could potentially sell the mobo and CPU and make like $400 and get a sick video card or something.

Hmm...
