amd 2000 xp or celeron 1.7

[ABCC]

i was actually trying to built a very budget computer for my oldest bro . He had the Celeron 1.7 and got him for his birthday a ati 9600xt 128mb card, but it would still run slow and sometime alittle chopy. We were able to get a Asus A7N8X Socket A Motherboard , and my other brother had the AMD 2000 cpu , so i put it together for him, and i loved the results, plays very smooth on Low details lol , but he is happy, so i put it on medium details and put some settings on low , and it looked pretty good , for him. so i was happy for the results using the spare AMD cpu my other brother had.
For myself i would like to wait maybe a year after Vista comes out, so maybe they will have a cpu more compatible or something, and they will have a better video card by then.
