Rich,

I'm pretty partial to the Athlon XP 1800+.  It runs at
1538MHz, but performs like an Intel 1800MHz processor,
if you believe the marketing.  

But the processor is fast, reliable, and I've had no
problems with compatibility.  And ENU Inc on the west
side sells it with a fan for $79.  Pretty cheap for
what you get, I think.
