Considering 95% of all Socket 939 motherboards will accept dual-core 
processors with nothing more than a BIOS update, get a single-code 
system now, and upgrade to dual-core when the prices drop.

The nice thing about AMD systems is you can do that.  :)  Intel 
dual-core requires an entire new chipset/motherboard, RAM, etc.
