$2300CDN. Sold my old system for $800 today, so it was a $1500 upgrade. Runs ROCK solid currently. Prime 95'd at 99%. It's ridiculous how powerful it is. I was running WoW maxed and had it minimized it. I forgot to close it and wanted to show my friend how BF2 looked. So I launch BF2 at max settings and it runs around 60FPS with WoW running in the background.
Nice system Nerrd. Not a fan of crossfire myself, ATI seems to have slipped off a bit, but not enough to take anything away from that system.

Oops. I just copied and pasted the order I placed, which included some other stuff for a different rig I'm building, and forgot to edit the ram.
btw. From what I understand AMD will support DDR2 in their future X2 processors.

You're refering to AGEIA's PhysX microprocessor. These processor will not be on the board itself, but on addon cards, sometime in the Q1 2006 maybe.
