Go for a 5 volt p24t because it'll go faster than any of the DX4 upgrade
options ?

Failing that, get a 5 volt dx4 overdrive ?

I guess your board has a zif socket ?  I guess you might think of plugging
a voltage regulating socket into that and then plugging the chip in but
personally I'd rather just keep it smaller and simpler.

Why AMD ?  Doesn't that also have less L1 cache than intel ?
