ok, well, i've decided i'm going to get a digital camera at the same time, so spending a little less on parts... no barton. was planning on the 2400. i guess here's the thing with that. i already have a 2000, so it doesn't seem "right" i guess to buy something slower... although that's not a very good point.
the only other concern is i've never gotten really good oc's with anything. a little here and there, but nothing major. course, i've never had a really nice mainboard like one of these, so maybe it's just that. how easy would it be to get that processor running fast enough? and stable, on aircooling? i'm kinda thinking just keep my 2000+, which came from newegg, and overclock that. i was just gonna sell off my old parts anyway, and if i need a proc in my existing setup to sell it off, i could just throw in a cheap xp in it. should i just keep my 2000+?
ok, the only last thing is the memory. i was going to buy the 2x 512 deal, but can save myself about 100$ buying them individually.
looking at the following:

the last one really isn't an option any more, because of the digital. and the other toys i want. but hopefully i can reclaim some cash selling off my old parts (a lot of them
).
