I would offer that unless you are running some *nix varriant, you should save your money for now and stick with a 32 bit system. If you can't compile your programs to use a 64 bit processor, you won't see as much of an increase in speed as you would probably like. I'm in the process of picking up a XP 2500+ Barton with an Abit NF7-s V2 motherboard. Less that $200 shipped from newegg. It's a good bit of power that ought to last for a while.
