Need advice for a cheap upgrade

[GTPoompt]

Hi all,

i'm looking to upgrade my PC a little, and was wondering whether the parts I picked out are any good. I'd like to use the same video card I have already (AGP) and I don't plan on buying top of the line components so...

My current rig is
Abit NF7-rev 2
AMD xp Mobile 2400+ at 2.2 ghz
1 gig of ram (2.5 2 2 7 lol)
ATI radeon 9700
blah blah blah for the rest of the junk

I was looking at these two (I can use the same ram HD case vid card)

CHAINTECH VNF3-250 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813152043 $58.00

AMD Mobile Athlon 64 3000+ (DTR) 800MHz FSB Socket 754 Processor - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103470 $139.00

That would put me under $200... Which I can probably get $120 for my mobo + CPU (i might buy new ram). So not very expensive for the upgrade.

I was just wondering If anyone has used the socket 754 DTR's and whether the OC well and whether the 1 mb cache really helps or not.

Thanks for any help
