It does, and with a high drool factor too. :-)) This level of stuff is
a bit pricey for the current project though.
Ok I wasn't sure quite what you wanted. Let's cut the budget down a bit.
AM2 NForce mobo: 70 bucks or so
3800+ X2: 150 bucks
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130030 EVGA
7300 GS NVidia card: 70 bucks
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103457 Enermax
Power supply: 70 bucks (DO NOT skimp on this part at least)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231050 Decent
G.SKill memory: 80 bucks
Those are a few parts that are guarenteed to have support. NVidia
always is recommended. I just don't like VIA because of my experiences
with them. Hopefully this will give you some good ideas. The nice part
about AM2 is you probably will be able to upgrade for a while. Or you
could go with a Biostar TForce mobo with onboard video for Socket 939
if you really need a budget, then get the 3800+ X2 939 edition, then
get the G.Skill PC4000 RAM or something. Those are a few AMD options
(as AMD is more for budgets anyway).

Ok I forgot something, I knew it. The parts I recommended allow a decent
overclock. :) But if you leave it at stock I'll understand :p. At the
very least if you get the G.SKill PC4000 and a 939 setup, you can lower
the CPU multi and run the RAM/CPU 1:1 while remaining at stock clocks
which will increase performance. 939 or AM2 are good choices in this
case, and I think there is a Biostar AM2 board with onboard video in a
TForce setup or something.
