It's not really worth it I reckon. I think you should wait for the X2800s and just get one of them, but it really depends on what your budget it is I guess

Well you can get yourself another X1650 PRO for CF then that just leaves you to find a motherboard and CPU. If ou wanted to keep your current ram you may wish to go AMD perhaps and AMD dual core CPU and a CF motherboard like mine.

What's your price range? If you're on a sub $500 budget you might aswell get a 3600+ Brisbane, otherwise Core 2 Duo is probably a better Idea.
