The XPs and the A64s dont run the same socket.If you want to get a decent motherboard you have to shell out like 70$ more.And the prices arent going to drop down to 50$ for a proc again..AMD is whoring out for more cash just like intel was doing.Your hardly saving anything/buying older parts for retail prices/wasting time building the system.
