Preparing to buy CPU/MB am I making good choices?

[Flat]

Ok the system I am preparing to buy
1. Abit KT7A motherboard $155 - maybe I should go for Asus? or older KT7 @ $120?
2. AMD Duron overclocked to 1.1ghz from overclockwarehouse.com - spend $$$ for non-OC TBird?
3. FOB38 HS/F @ $30
Tell me if you think thats a good setup or any other suggestion!

I saw the abit Kt7a-raid board for about the same price on pricwatch today..Buy the A board and duron is ok..

I would buy that board now and probably will soon anyway.....I have a pro2a now...

Since you can get a 1ghz t-bird for around $180.00 I would buy that if I were you....

That's guaranteed performance and maybe you can 1.2ghz out of it....

I have a pretested duron that didn't live up to my expectations, so that's why I feel the way I do....

4) Athlon 1 GHz / MSI K7T Pro2A

ABIT KT7A-100

if you want to save money, get Duron700 and oc to 1000, if you want more performance, get TB900 and overclock to 1100.

It also depends on your luck...you can probaly get TB850 and still reach 1100...but luck plays a part...also make sure you get Blue Core.
