this will probably make some intel fans mad, but... the new Athlon XP 1900+ (1.6 GHz) is faster than the Pentium 4 2.0 GHz in almost every benchmark i have seen. AMD makes the T-Bird line of processors, and the highest is 1.4. I have a 1.33 that is fast enough for me, but it is OCed to 1.425. Either will be fast enough. It also depends on what you plan to do with your computer... gaming or office work(word, excel, internet)
