Think about going for a 1.4GHz Athlon, overclockers.co.uk will do you a 1.4
for �87.52 pre VAT (�102 inc VAT), and they are saying its a quite
overclockable chip.
Also it might be worth waiting till the 12th of October when AMD will
release the next familiy of CPU (Palmetto or Athlon XP), if anything it
might knock the prices down on the "old" CPUs.
