It's just me, but I would go with a throw away chip, and wait for the X2 to be a good price. The system and the CPU will still be faster than your current setup, and the ~$200 savings will go well against the price of an X2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103536 It's only $150 (OEM 3000+) vs $340 (Retail 3700+) In 4-6 months pop out the 3000+ and put in a 4200+ or higher X2.
