I am looking to build a dualcore should I wait for the new amd chipset or conroe from intel. As I want to use my current memory also which is dual channel ddr 2.

Get the amd dual core x2 by the end of sept. Prices should bottom out by then. Or you can go cheap and look for a via chipset board that works with the Intel 805 and pc3200. The 805 will be under $100 in about 1 month when conroe is released.

Isn't the 805 around that now?

Yes, but its price will drop.
