I haven't seriously priced DDR2 memory, but, with just a quick browse over at newegg under my belt, it doesn't seem much more expensive than its predecessor. I've also noticed that AM2 chips are priced in about the same range as their 939 'cousins.' AM2 chips don't seem to get expensive until you hit X2 levels.
The most important thing, in my opinion anyway, when looking at a new motherboard is compatability. For example, the ASUS-A8N-E is a pretty nice board, but if you're rocking an AGP video card and don't have the cash to make the jump to PCI-e then the ASUS-A8N-E isn't going to do you any good.
