I'm currently running the following:

Athlon 1.0Ghz (Thunderbird)
ASUS A7V133-C
768MB PC133

I was looking to build a new machine but that's going to have to wait. In the meantime, i'd like to boost performance a bit for video
encoding...

I'm thinking of going with either an Athlon XP 2000+ or 2100+. The board (rev 1.05".") will support up to a 2100+ (Palomino/Thoroughbred). I'd prefer to go with a Thoroughbred tho to keep temperatures down a bit.

Any opinions on this one?
