Well, AMD have just announced their 2Ghz (XP2400+) and 2.133Ghz (XP2600+) CPU's and say that they have been shipped to stockists around the world....I hope. The good thing about these CPU's is that they run much cooler than previous "Thoroughbred" cores and overclock extremely well. XP2600+ is capable of getting up to XP3100+ specs which is roughly 2.5Ghz with just normal air cooling from a fan. These new AMD CPU's will ofcourse be cheaper than Intel CPU's as they always are. You best check these out, or check some other AMD CPU's as their prices should have or will be dropping substantially with the release of their new line.

Ofcourse you will need to buy a new Motherboard, Heat sink Fan, Memory...But the differences will be very noticable. Check out AMD, you will save some major cash with these guys.
