I agree with Nippy. There's nothing that can run it yet that will make any difference. There are a few motherboards that support both the AMD64 and FX processors, but there's still no software for them. Windows XP 64 bit is still in beta and won't be released until later this year, but more importantly there's no applications or games that will make use of all that extra power (unless you're really looking for a CAD workstation).

On the other hand, it's 32 bit capabilities will blow away anything else out there. While the FX51 may only run at 2.2GHz it'll still run circles around a P4 3.2GHz, but at 3 times the price.
