I'm a spoiled tech, and I refuse to buy new parts.

This may sound rediculous but I hate to buy new components because there is really no worthwhile way to overclock them. I suppose I became spoiled since my last two major purchases have been a celeron 300a, and I'm still running my PIII 550 clocked at 843. I'd like to buy a new Athlon but I don't feel like filling the gaps in with super glue to connect the bridges. I know Athlons are cheap to begin with but... Well you guys probably feel the same way I do.
Guess i'll buy a Ti200 to hold me over for a while.

But, with the Athlon XP, you can just bump your bus speed up. You don't have to change the multipliers - in all cases.

If you get the TBIRD 1.2 GHz the mulitplier bridges are already connected, just get a board that supports the mulitplier changing via BIOS and the voltage core via BIOS and you can o/c the CPU :)
