You dont need anything faster then a middle of road athlon xp. My current system is running a xp 1800 with nforce2 chipset. Intel is currently faster the amd if you want the high end system. If you want a great system at a good price you cant beat amd

You might want to purchase an after marker heatsink for you rprocessor though. I built a system this summer and I think I remember reading that the heatsink intel provices with their chips are pretty good, while AMDs stock heatsinks arent as good and let the chip get hot.

1. go to newegg.com and get all your hardware

2. amd's rawk. i use them in my two desktops at the house.

3. they cook eggs faster than an AD1000. get a volcano or similar fan, spend the 20-30$ on one, you will need it. also, get the arctic silver shit, it really works.

4. asus mobo's are some of the best imho. run the asus probe if you get one, you can monitor your system status, temps, speeds, voltages, etc.

5. go see ratdog!
