I am looking to build a new workstation/ personal
computer.  I have been running a PII 400 with shakey
hardware for a while, and am wanting to upgrade to=20
a new system that will be able to hang in the running
for a while.

I would like to get some opinions on which CPU is better
P4's or Athlon XP's, and what the best motherboard. =20
I am looking to buy the system in early summer.

Thank You.
