Hi,
it looks like you are *underclocking* your 2400+, it should be running at
2GHz default?  Maybe if you overclocked that chip to 2.2GHz you wouldn't
need a new one.  Also what speed is your memory (PC2100, PC2700, PC3200?).
Did you consider *re-using* some of your old parts or do you want to create
a new PC from scratch?

I built a new system about two months ago and it works very well. . .
