I'm currently running a Biostar M7NCD motherboard with an AMD XP 2500+ (333 bus speed) and I'm debating weather to get the XP 3200+ (400 bus speed) or get a new motherboard. The current board supports a chip up to the 3200. Obviously there’s a difference between the two speeds but is it really negligible? Is it worth getting a new board that supports the new 64 chips or stick with my current board and up the processor? I have a 512 stick on it now and planning on getting another one. I have a 128MB ASUS ATI card and planning on upping that too, eventually.
