It's been a while for me since buying a C300@450/BH6 2 years ago, and am in an upgrading mood/mode again.

What's the best combo currently? About the only thing I can say that I remember from reading recently is that Celeron's suck now, and something about a "pencil trick". Yah, I've been away from this too long.

Go AMD or Intel? What processor/mobo combo is the best? I tend to be on the cheap side with processors, but I like a good mobo and good memory for upgradability.

Any info (or references) for me to catch up on what's going on these days would be appreciated!

Duron's. The 650's were the overclocking to 900 pretty well, but I suspect that most all newer ones should get to around a gig.
