Wow... I bought my AMD Sempron 2300 single core 32 bit @ 1.58ghz for about $60. Check out the price of the lowest 64 X2 your can get:
Athlon 64 X2 3600+ (65nm, 64-bit, Energy Efficient, 1.9GHz, 1MB total dedicated L2 cache, 2000MHz HyperTransport bus, socket AM2) for $73!!

It's time to get a new computer too. I can feel this one struggle with some games and other intensive processing.
