I am FINALLY getting my Athlon 64 3200+. that is This or This? The second one I would assume. not as nice but still nice.

What mboard and what ram and cpu cooler? I know this is gana cost me but I am getting the cpu for free might as well do a Super upgrade.

nope. the 3200+ has the single-channel memory controller, and takes unbuffered. The FX-51, like the Opteron, has two channels and requires registered memory.
