I think they dropped plans for supporting ddr2 to. Actually I'm not sure if they ever did plan on it but Wikipedia and 2 minutes on google make no mention of it being available.

it all comes to $1000 so i'm close but just for the mobo cpu and ram it's about $550.

How bout using a 4850 video card to save a tiny bit.
