i prefer intel over amd. but if your going with amd get the xp series. the athlon tops out at 1.4 ghz. and is the older verion of the amd cpus. the athlon xp runs faster is more efficient and is dirt cheap. as for the durons. those are amd's low budget chip (lower cache). not really worth getting when you can get athlon xp's so cheap.
As for going dual cpu i wouldnt bother. there is hardly any software for it. no games that i know of take advantage of it either. unless your doing 3d redering ALOT. you will benefit more by having one really fast cpu instead of 2 decent speed cpus.
If you go intel make sure it is a version c at 800mhz fsb. you can get good deals on a 2.4c p4. for motherboards get a springdale or canterwood chipset. with pc3200 ddr ram or better. Stay away from celerons there crap.
