After reading that other thread, I'm thinking that a temp upgrade of my CURRENT system might actually be more worthwhile in the long run--
If I'm comfortable with it and it gives me enough extra juice, I don't HAVE to upgrade to Athlon 64...
AND, if I do, the money spent now will likely be regained at least in part by the time I get a new system-- between the price drops in the mobo and the CPU, it could very well balance out.

Good work!!!! 
You'll have to remember who you price-matched to so that I can lure them into a bargain, too.
That's if you're willing to share the fruits of your labour.
A new Sonata case and PSU would add another $110 or so on top of that, but many of the rest of my parts would port over until I could afford more (ie. an extra drive).
