Yes. I know you said you're getting an AMD, but in case you decide to change your mind, do NOT buy a P4. Just don't

. Now that that's out of the way, I suggest the Abit KX7 board. It's fast, it's cheap, it overclocks great, and it's got a cool box

. For the XP, make sure that you get a .13 micron 2100+. They're going to start making all the XPs on the .13 micron so that means cheaper prices and slightly better overclocking. As for video cards, don't get a ti4400 or 4600. If they're that huge, the technology isn't keeping up with those cards. the ti4200s are the only normal sized ones. I'd get a Radeon 8500 or an R250 that they're coming out with soon. Maybe even a Matrox Parhelia if you can wait. I dunno, but I don't like the ti4400/4600s. They seem to be taking the same 3Dfx route. For a heatsink, I recommend the Thermalright AX7. It just plain r0xx0rs
