Best Athlon X2 price/performance processor

[gweminence]

As the title says. Looking to build a machine based on these, so what's the best price/performance value in the x2's, and their sli mobos? TIA

3800 x2.
there are lots of mobos out here. DFI lanparty for hardcore OC, or MSI k8n neo4.

oh and I have 3800+ x2, running at 2.4ghz 1:1 if that helps
