While I think about it - is there any reason why it has to be a P4? I am just thinking out loud...and if your upgrade cycle is a fairly long time (and considering the system you're coming from that's not a wild assumption), have you thought about going the Athlon 64 route?

It would make sense in terms of future-proofing. Intel are going the 64-bit route, but exactly when is anyone's guess, so...

Just some food for thought.
