So i scored another free old PC part in my junkyard hunting, AMD Athlon X2 3800+ 2.0MHZ Dual Core AM2. Figured it was a better processor than the Pentium 4 i picked up.

Can i do anything with it? Cheap AM2/AM2+ mobos you guys recommend?

As far as my PC workhorse build goes, iv bought my processor. Ended up with a Core i7-980 i managed to haggle for $450 down from i think retail $600. This things is fucking beautiful. I was very close in buying a Core I7 2600k but for around $150 bucks more for the 980...i said well fuck it..Which of course breaks my budget, but its ok cuz i plan on extending the build time to manage funds. So maybe sometime in November ill be looking at a suitable motherboard.
