Upgrade decision

I really want to upgrade my cpu, i'm currently on a celeron 466. My choice is between a Duron 850 and Abit KT7 for about $120. Or a Epox 8K7A with a 1.2 266fsb Tbird plus 128MB ram for about $250. I know there are new chipsets coming out from Sis and Nvidia. I'm debating weather i should get the Tbird and keep it for a while or get the Duron and upgrade again in the winter.
 
EPOX EP-8K7A (Refurbished) - $99.00 Newegg. Link

Refurbished often means simply "open box." Haven't had a problem with one yet.

AMD Thunderbird 1GHz 266MHz - $116.00 Newegg. Link

Add appox. $15.00 shipping.

This combo will serve you well no matter what comes down the road. Plus you can overclock this puppy for days.
