I still have to disagree. That board that was linked, appears to be worthless. And, its a barebones, stripped POS of a board. Also, only overclocks your chip 25% of the way. But, that's fine. Lets work with it.
E2160 1.86Ghz - 85 dollars
MSI P965 Neo-F - 87 dollars
Ok, so it can go up to 333Mhz FSB for 1333Mhz total FSB quadpump. That's cool, for 172 you can overclock your proc 25% - I don't know how you're getting that this will hit 3ghz on this board. I don't know the board, maybe I'm missing something here. Still, lets continue.
AMD 3600+ Brisbane 1.9Ghz - 65 dollars
Motherboard.......Hmm. Good question. You've posted about a bottom of the barrel, no frills board. You can get ECS AM2 boards that will still bring the Brisbane to 2.5Ghz, which happens to be about 25% overclock. You can also get those motherboards for ~50-60 dollars.
But, lets go ahead and stick with the 87 dollar price range. This
Abit is 86 dollars SHIPPED. So, its at your door for less then the cost of the MSI board that you still have to pay shipping. That board also has a great feature set. It has a full passive cooling system to keep things cool. It doesn't have some horrid (HORRID) Jmicron controller to replace what Intel was stupid enough to take out. It also supports raid natively, while the MSI board supports raid only between the Jmicron sata and the ide - who does that? Oh yeah, that board ought to also be able to take the 3600 Brisbane up into the 2.75-3Ghz range, too. And its not ugly, to boot.
So, to recap. You can pay 172 dollars for a problematic board that offers no frills and brings your cut down Intel processor to 333Mhz FSB. Or, for ~150 dollars you can buy the 3600+/KN9S combo and run the processor easily between 2.5 and 3Ghz, have a quality board that isn't featureless, and most of all not have that horrid Jmicron chip to deal with.
You can even have a combination for ~120 with a cheaper ECS or other cheap board which is similarly no-frills to run the 3600+ on, and hit the same 25% or so overclock. AND, you still aren't going to be dealing with the Jmicron disaster that haunts the P965 in the budget segment.
I'm sorry to take this somewhat out of topic, but I'm just trying to underscore the point. This Intel chip will likely be pretty awesome, and I'm sure the demand will be high enough that they will use good chips to power these, along with some of the chips that were low binned for failure of something or another. But, without Intel dropping the price of their chipsets to allow the consumer to get access to quality budget boards - they're in a tough place in the budget segment.
