It doesn't matter which one. !?
I recently got a new Gigabyte MB with the i845E support chip, then thought about a P4 2.4ghz to add to it, but its too expensive. So I put a Celeron 2ghz in the MB & oveclocked it to 2.66ghz. As soon as i put eveything together, there were new MB's with AGP8X, DDR whatever, new i845 board releases, and so on. I give up, for another year anyway.
Spend as much as u dare, then add 15%, then watch each new release of MB and chip and weep and cry, and then go & buy a new computer case to cheer yourself up.

Well if you want an really good and reliable cpu then buy an version of the AMD Athlon XP. The 2600 version is an good one and is even better then the Celeron 2.4GHZ overclocked. Also as mainbord you should use an MSI board. They are good and most of the time they are better then ASUS and AOPEN.

This is my suggestion what you do with it is your problem i only say if you have that then your pc rock and you will have an nice stable pc.

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.
