Another topic, but it's relevant so not spamming :)
I, as I've said, am building a PC and it's going to be Socket A. Now, looking at all the processors, I'm confused.
What makes a 3000+ better than a 2600+ except like 200Mhz diff. in clock speed?
AMD Athlon XP2800+ 2.083 GHz Socket A 333MHz, 512KB Barton, BOXED
AMD Athlon XP2600+ 1.917 GHz Socket A 333MHz, 512KB Barton, BOXED
What should I look for? My mainboard, by the way, is a pcchips M848ALU.

The board was only £25 new, so I'm not complaining :D

The 848ALU has a good reputation actually, so I wouldn't worry about that, but don't expect to overclock with it or anything.
The only thing that makes one AMD Barton better than another is clock speed. The actual difference in clock speed is less than the difference in PR ratings though. The difference between them is slight, somewhere in the region of 10% at most. Get the faster one if the difference is also slight.

First of all i would replace the Pcchips motherboard as they are probably the most unreliable motherboards i have ever come across, i would go for the 2800+ chip as it is faster and there is not much price differance.
