Hi; I really have not played with it too much, fiddling with
fuzzylogic it once or twice went to 2300 (from memory). But the temps
were over 60 C. 

The main reason I have choosen to go for a new system is just because.
lol. Will problably keep the old one for a while.

I found this on the web;

CPU AMD K7 Athlon XP 3000+ Barton 333MHz FSB, Retail $418

Well you hit the nail on the head, that was basicly what I am after,
what speed (PC2100, PC2700, PC3200?) and brand to get...?
