Best CPU for Realtime Audio Processing/Sequencing?

Hi all, I'm new to the forum so please bear with me if this has been covered before, but searches haven't brought me much luck so far...

At the moment, I'm using a Barton 2800 o/c to 2.3ghz with 512 of DDR400 and a Jetway(!) motherboard for realtime audio sequencing/VST synthesisers/plugins etc.

I've reached the point where my CPU is maxing out with the strain of all the instruments/processing I'm putting on it and need to upgrade...

Up until this point, I've always gone for Athlons as they always seemed to provide more bang per buck compared with Intel. However, Athlons seems to be the same now if not more expensive than their P4 counterparts here in the UK. Therefore, I'm leaning towards the idea of getting a P4 3.2E, an ABIT IC7, some Corsair, a really good HSF and overclocking as much as possible.

What do you think?

If your interested, I have a Dual P4 Xeon Serverboard Model SE7501 and 2 GB of memory to go with it. Needs ECC Registered. Uses Socket 603 Xeon processors. You would have to purchase processor(s) for it.
This would provide all the horsepower you would ever need for Steinberg, Cakewalk Pro Audio or whatever you throw at it no matter how many plugins you use.

I have this in FS/FT but thought you might be interested.
