Personally, i will be buying a phenom 2 black edition in the not too distant future.

I'm having Lenny 64-bit running on a ASUS M3N78PRO MOBO - 8 gb ram and the AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Processor
It's
the fastest system I've worked with :-) and the cost for the mobo,
processor and the ram is today approx 552 USD here in Denmark.
