Basically my current PC is:

Mid-Tower Case w/ Aftermarket PS (400w)
Asus A7V8X-X
Barton - AMD Athlon 2500+
1 gig PC-3200 Kingston
Crappy Geforce 2
80 Gig HD

Upgrade will upgrade case for cooling, Motherboard for Dual Channel, and Video Card

End Result will be:

Antec SOHO Server Case w/ Antec Smart Power 380 W PS
AMD Barton Athlon 2500+ - Hopefully overclocked to 3200+
1 gig Kingston PC-3200 @ Dual Channel
eVGA Geforce 6800 - Unlocked to 16 Pipes (Based on reviews this is easily done and makes the card good)
80 gig hd

Opinions?

Also how easy is it to unlock the card.

Isnt the Athlon 64 socket 754 a single channel memory controller which is in the processor?
