"U NEED TO UPGRADE RAM" as in current ddr sticks wont work with am2 processor and mobo or that if i put in the ddr sticks they wont offer any performance improvement

Only DDR2 works with AM2 so you need to upgrade RAM.

Plus you need real fast DDR2 RAM to reach the performance as of systems with 939 socket equivalents which translates to much higher cost just for getting equivalent/slightly faster performance which is not worth it..

Further fall in AMD prices :

Updated price/performance chart reflects single-day AMD price drop | TG Daily

Suddenly, the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ is selling for an average price of $144 - down $23 from yesterday, and below the new 3600+ target price - once it's introduced - of $149.

As the market starts to anticipate some action from AMD on the "4x4" front, prices for the FX-62 tumbled $70 in just one day, to $794. Prices for the Athlon 64 X2 4600+ followed suit, dropping $26 (down 9.6%) to $246, while the 4400+ saw the steepest percentage decline of the day, down 11% ($29) to $235
