Building a PC for SL

I have a PC from 2004 that isn't really that great with OSX, so I'm thinking about building a really, REALLY cheap system (about $200) and I'm asking if anybody has any recommendations about motherboard and cpu bundles. I'm probably going to buy a motherboard with an intel pentium dual core, so do you guys know if that supports the vanilla kernel?
If it does, I'll buy this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...73744&CatId=14 and all the other stuff I need. If not, I guess I'll have to up my price range :|

I recently started a compareable topic myself - you might like to check it out:

And yes - the Pentium Dual-Core supports using Vanilla Kernel - the main difference to the Core 2 Duo is that it has much less L2-Chache
