is this a hot deal

I was looking for something else but found this.

I currently have a MB with AMD 5000 X2 and 2GB ddr667

I'm thinking I could just swap with the combo on the link above.

Would it be worth it?

You might want to consider the deal going on with the Phenom II X3 here.
You can look into the combo deals & find a combo that'll include ram & a motherboard.
If you want to try unlocking the 4th core, you might want to consider this motherboard as it was the one used in the review. I've also read that the Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H is being used as well.
I suppose you could use your old memory to tide you over until you upgraded it to a higher speed.

I have one of those mbs. It is not an over clocking mb at all, nor particularly feature rich, but fine for basic use. Running an X2 4600 in it with 2 gb 667 ram, XP Pro. Win7 64bit won't install on it (Ubuntu 64bit will and runs great), but Win7 32bit runs like a champ. Audio and video are adequate but not exceptional.

Bundle price is similar to total of individual parts prices if you buy ram with a rebate.

The deals that have been going on with the Phenom II have been pretty good in general, it seems.
