Athlon XP3000 or AMD 64 3000

[shybull]

I'm upgrading my sons video card from a ATI 9600 Pro to a ATI X850XT. It will go in a MSI K3 Ultra 2 motherboard with a Athlon XP3000 and 1 gig of memory. I have a AMD64 3000 754 socket chip that I'm not using. All I'd have to do is buy a 754 motherboard and put the AMD 64 3000 in it. Would it be benifical to do this? Or is the performance gain not worth it?

Thanks

That wasn't an option.

You already have the XP 3000+ and MSI mobo? I'd go with the A64 3000+ and start overclocking, although I'm not sure of the s754's potential. Either way, you'll have a happy kid.
