A tbred B core or a barton 2500+ if i were buying. How much speed do want?
It's your money.
1700+ B core @ about 2.2GHz $49
2500+ Barton @ about 2.2GHz $83
Both would require a 13x multiplier mod.
cheapest to just drop in without mods would be the 2100+ B core @about
2.2GHz. $64

What Wes is referring to about "mods" is setting a custom multiplier; a CPU's
speed is set as a multiplication of the front side bus speed. If unlocking the
multiplier and manually setting a higher one (Athlon XPs have locked
multipliers meant for bus speeds higher than the older 100/200fsb) sounds too
hard for you, then just get an Athlon XP 2200 & set the motherboard's front
side bus to 105/210mhz, and you'll still have something a heap faster than a
Duron (about Athlon XP 1800+ speed).

It may be a good idea to have your motherboard's Bios updated before installing
a new CPU.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Many thanks people for your help - looking forward to having a 'play' with
it !<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
