Athlon XP 2400

OK guys, some advice needed.

I would like to purchase this CPU as a retail box inc heatsink and fan, as an upgrade from my 1Ghz AMD duron.

1/ Is it a good choice?
2/ £67 for the retail box, is that a good price?
3/ I have an ECS K7S5A motherboard the Bios date indicates that it should support this chip, any further info would be gratefully received.

The 2400 gets quite a lot of praise, as a good 'bang per buck' buy, only rivalled by the 2500 (but I don't think your board would support this FSB333 chip).
That seems to be one of the best prices around at the moment (ebuyer I guess?).
I think your board only supports the athlon chips up to the 266FSB 'thoroughbred' core, making the 2400 the highest it will go - although I'm prepared to be wrong about this

i bought one myself £55 as you can see, incl heatsink & fan from AMD. It is pretty quiet.
