There's no point to buying the 2.6C since Intel dropped the 2.8C to the same price. The Abit IS7 is a perfect board for that CPU and overclocks well to 250MHz FSB, which would take a 2.8C to 3.5GHz (about the limit for the 2.8C even with top quality air cooling).

I will second Crashman's suggestions but with an adendum. If you have been running your xp at 2.2+ gigs, dont expect too much difference in performance. You are not going to get good price performance delta, that's for sure.
