What should i upgrade?

[Byte]

I'm itching for an upgrade. I want to upgrade my proc and mobo cuz they are my favorate to upgrade. I'm upgrading my main system and server:

Main
AthlonXP 1800 @ 2400
Asus A7N8X DLX

Server
P4 2.0A
Epox 4G4A

I'm thinking of getting a P4 2.4C with IC7 for my Server and getting a Barton for my Main. But i'm thinking of maybe putting the P4 in my main system and just move the AthlonXP to my Server since i might be able to use the Hyperthreading more (i usually have some 15 programs running at one time). How much are Barton 2500+ O/Cing nowadays?

What kind of server loads are you getting?

my server gets quite a load. Most of the time i takes 10 seconds to even open IE. It feels like a P90.

Well, before you go spending lots of money, I'd make sure that the processor is the bottleneck. What kind of network connection do you have? Disk system?
