I looking for some advice on building a PC. I have a decent knowledge of PCs compared the the layman but I am learning more about them all the time but I am not up to the level of most of you guys.
What I'm looking to door is upgrade my current PC.
Athlon XP 2200, 64 Meg Geforce 4 card, 312 Meg DDR 266 memory with a 20gig hard drive.
I've bought a new tower case so far and a 120 Gig hard drive. I'm now looking at getting some DDR 400 Ram (1 gig of it) a new Grx card and processor.
These are the two processors I'm looking at. I've gone with AMD since I got into them and have had no problems whatsoever.

I'm unsure exactly whether to go for the Athlon 64. What about PCI Express and DDR2? Is this something I should be thinking about? I also need some advice on the mobo to get, though this will obviously depend on the processor.
Thanks all
