Will I notice any difference if I upgrade from my TBird 1.3 to the XP 1900 (1.6Ghz)? I'm using an ASUS A7A266 with latest BIOS rev that supports XP processors.

If you're doing CPU-intensive jobs like 3D rendering, compile jobs, Photoshop, DivX ripping, etc., then yes, you'll probably notice a difference. If you're just playing games, using MS Office, surfing the web, and checking e-mail, then you probably won't notice a difference without running benchmarks.
