if i had to go out and buy one now (which I am going to very soon) it would be the tbird

What's your question?

Get the slowest tbird you can and overclock while the multiplier is still ajustable. A Duron 900 loses to a Tbird 800 I believe.

Any Socket A motherboard based on the VIA Apollo KT133 chipset will take either chip, which makes for a nice upgrade path.

Note that you will probably will not be able to adjust the CPU's multiplier as suggested in these articles.
