@symp: $500 for just the proc?  or $500 for computer parts + case + monitor?

AMD Athalons are great processors.  I would reccomend somthing along the lines of a 64bit chip, it will be useful soon, and yea look at somthing like outpost.com for mobo+proc combo deals, they've got great ones.

I've had a 2500+ mobile in a deskop machine, and my friend has a 2800 A64, which he has pretty healthily bumped up in speed, as have I on the mobile.

AMDs are great processors.  IIRC, the speed listed for the Athlon XP (2100+, 2800+, etc) are the approximate equivalent to the Pentuim speeds.  So, the AMD chip may not ACTUALLY be running at 2.8GHz, but at the speed that is giving performance equivalent to a Pentuim running at 2.8GHz.  www.pricewatch.com is a great resource for finding computer parts.  I don't know about the 64 bit processors, I haven't kept up to speed on CPUs in a couple years.  College sucks the money right outta ya.  :(

AMD 64's are pretty awesome for the price. Check out some benchmarks before you buy. CPU clock speed itself (in Ghz) is pretty meaningless these days.

Also, newegg.com is ACE for computer part purchasing

I lust for s939 A64 processors...  <drools>

now if only I could either have money fall from the sky on me, or suddenly have fans pay me for my art work, that'd be great...

Druid:
Here is a link to the Tech Reports CPU Decoder. It lists specs for most of the current processors out on the market today for AMD and Intel.
