You might also want to look at dual processors rather than just one.
After looking at prices online, and reading processor and motherboard reviews, I've decided not to go for an AMD Athlon XP. There are 2 reasons for this:
[1] The Intel Pentium 4 is cheaper than the Athlon XP
[2] It outperforms the Athlon XP in about 90% of the tests that I've read reviews on!!!
I've chosen a nice 64MB Creative graphics card and the Creative SB Live Plater 5.1 for a sound card. The motherboad I'm going for has onboard sound, but I'm gonna get the sound card anyway - Pure Performance.
Heh, the motherboard I'm going for has support for 3GB of RAM. Sweet!!!
