Ok, so I decided to take your word for it and go with AMD.
I figure if I'm gonna splurge on something the processor and motherboard is the place to do it. The Soyo - KT400 Dragon Ultra Platinum - K7VX4 - Socket A ATX MotherBoard with Audio, AGP 8X/4X, USB 2.0 and 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN Support has all the stuff you suggested to look for and I think the Ahtlon XP 2800+ Processor would go with it quite well. Its 70 dollars more to go with the Athlon XP 3000+ and I dont really see how its any better.
