    Cheap upgrade...need AM2 motherboard recommendations!

    I'm really tempted to pick up one of those 3600+ x2's on Newegg for 65 bucks...just need a motherboard to stick it in. Is it possible to scavenge 1Gb DDR2 from my current system, or will I need something different? I'd like to o/c it to ~2.8Ghz or so...should be a decent jump from what I have now. Soo - any recommendations?

    I've been out of the game for a long time now...any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Edit: Perhaps I should've posted in general hardware..

    I'm looking at the Biostar TForce 550 to go with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Brisbane and 2Gb DDR2-667. Total is around $250...going to run it with my X800XL PCIE. How's that look to you all -- should I get a decent overclock? Any recommendations for a CPU cooler?
