Personally I like to stay about 6-9 months behind the newest toys. That way I dont pay 20-50% more than I need to.
As far as AMD chips go, I would suggest the AMD 1700 or 2000; both are under 150.00 atm. And that is Canadian Dollars :P
Stepping up to anything above 2000XP will start to cost you $$$ and depending on what you are doing with your machine, (and of course whats in it as far as hardware) you may not notice any difference anyways.
