What should I go?

No need to get hostile buddy. People work hard for there money, I don't know how many people here were given anything. You ask for help but then you snap at them when they give you advice. I know you said sorry but I just don't see the need to snap at someone attempting to help you.
 
Does your motherboard support hyperthreading and 800fsb? If so, you might be farther ahead with the P4, though you would have to run a memory divider, unfortunately.

It partly depends on how much you can get selling your current processor and motherboard, versus the cost of an A64 motherboard.
 
Also what are your intended uses?? Sometimes the Intel is better and sometimes the amd is better. In that range it appears clear the prices are pretty comparative between the two....

If your current mobo can handle it (P4c) I would try that route....though you will have to run a divider cause the ram probably cant handle it....
 
if you can keep the same mobo, then I'd go for the P4. Otherwise, if you're buying a new mobo, I'd grab an A64 in a heartbeat. A 2800+ is decent (it often outperforms a P4 3.0GHz, in fact), and if you want to keep your existing mobo and aren't looking to upgrade on the same platform, then that's the way to go. However, if you are looking for a future upgrade, then a $140 socket 939 3000+ and a $90 mobo are a much better investment. (and that's $230, not $300, only about $20-30 more than a comparable P42.8/2800+ + mobo). In fact, 939 mobos will support dual cores, too, so you can keep it for a while. Of course, since you already have a 6600GT AGP, you can't get a PCIe mobo, which is part of the appeal of 939.
 
I'd get the A64, it won't take as much of a performance hit using your current 333mhz DDR, but it would bottleneck a 2.8c.
