No doubt that'd be a cost-effective upgrade, but it looks more like a $300+ upgrade to me. (DDR3 would be required with an 890X MB, no?)
What's the main use of the system? Doesn't look like a gaming system, but I might be wrong. (I have what should be a pretty good gaming system, but I don't do much gaming.)
I'd suggest waiting until you can come up with more than $200, and doing an upgrade that is less of a stopgap.
(Damn. This thread really took off while I was looking around. Looks like it's turned into a real Intel vs AMD fan festival.)
