Done right, that might run you 200 bucks.

I am still hoping Anv will be able to come up with an AMD kernel for Lion, and hopefully Mt. Lion, also.

I actually did research switching to Intel and you are right. I just need M/B and CPU. I figure decent Gigabyte board and i5 would run $250-$280 which would be better cpu than what I have.

But I don't want to spend all that money just so that I can run Lion or Mountain Lion to get iCloud or messages. I have nearly perfect system running with 10.6.8 retail and 10.6.7 hazard as backup and virtually have no issue (almost no panic, sleep works, all USB port, facetime, photobooth, iLife, sound works, Parallels running without any issue under 64bit userland) and i figure iCloud and message doesn't justify spending $$$.
I got iPhone and iPad on the side as well.

I really hope nawcom or Andy creates a miracle for us.
We just need AMD kernel right?
I could totally spend time working on that if I knew as much as those geniuses.
