I plain on buy a Epox 8KHA+ board but not sure which will be the best CPU to go with. I plain on O/C if at all possible!

From newegg.com
AMD ATHLON THUNDERBIRD 1.4GHz 266MHz FSB SOCKET A PGA PROCESSOR-OEM Version Stepping AYHJA = $125.00
AMD ATHLON THUNDERBIRD 1.4GHz 266MHz FSB Socket A PGA PROCESSOR Retail Box Version = $135.00
AMD 1600+/266 FSB Athlon XP - OEM Athlon XP 1600+/ 1.40GHz, AX1600DMT3C = $128.00

I heard the AYHJA had better chances of O/C? Can someone tell me which of these processors would be best for me or another one in that same price range for the best preformance/OC.

Also I have Duron 600@1Ghz with a FOP-32. Should I get a new H/S&Fan or do you think the FOP-32 will be ok to stay with. I also have a FOP-38 laying around I could use. If not what would you recommand?

I was thinking of going with 2-256 Crucial DDR PC1600 or
1 512mb Mushkin Basic PC2100?


Thanks!


 
i also would probably take the xp, but if i did get a tbird it would be an oem, not a retail (exact same cpu, just that the retail comes with a hsf) im not real fond of the hsf that comes with retail tbirds
