AM2 is a new socket (example- 940, 939, 754, socket A) it will support only AMD cpu's made for that socket, it will not support 939 socket cpu's. if u can wait 3 months buy that

AMD is a company that makes processors (Athlons, Semprons and Opterons) like INTEL, (im sure u mistyped that, u meant to say AM2)

yes and if u dont want 2 wait:

Processor
Mobo
RAM <buy 2 of these so in all you will have 4GB
Video Card <2 of these... (but idk is one of these better?)
Display <3 of these? if u can... if u can't get 3 get 2
Sound Card
Tuner
Harddrive: this (fast and bigger) or this (sickly fast and smaller)
Harddrive 2
OS
Case <<either of the ones u picked are nice...
Cooling
- Case
- Processor
- PCI
Speakers <700 Watts!
PSU

ok, that is what i configured... but i wouldn't recomend buying anything till yuo see what everyone else says about this system, incase i made some mistakes...
theoreticly you could get a server with much more... but i think that would be a waste to you, and u don't seem to be the person to spend money with no reason...
if you do want to wait for the AM2, you still could get ur display and speakers...

but dont buy this until you see what other ppl say about it... im sure they would like to make many changes

i work in business and marketing and ik that alienware is mostly all marketting, im sure they make some good pcs, but i think they are mostly marketing...
i dont want to give them my business, i dont want to be spending the money on the brand... when i could build for cheaper & better (even though money isn't a factor, i still dont waste it that way)

i like the what encore4more posted...

This is good but i can make it better:

With this board.

Then that SCSI drive he mentioned get two of those in Raid 0 and you should be set.
