Ok, seeing as I've always had Intels because, well, I just had a bunch of intel MB's to use up. I didn't want them to completely go to waste, so instead of spending hundereds of dollars on a new platform, i just decided to use up what I had. Well, that's over and done with and I need a new (another) system. My friend is selling two Athlons, a 1200 and 1200/266. He's given me dibs on the CPU's before he sells them to anyone else, so I figured it would be a great opportunity to venture into the AMD side of things. I was wondering which would be the better choice. I'm leaning towards the regular 1200 right now seeing as the 100Mhz bus would give me more headroom when I set the PCI divider. I don't want to unlock whichever one I get at first, until I've got it at a stable temp. But, I'm new to the AMD game, so any input on helping me decide would be really appreciated.
