When you get an Athlon be careful which motherboard/chipset you use with it. Some of them have had problems that then get blamed on the processor. On the other hand, I have had bad Intel boards too. Also the Athlons tend to run hotter than the Pentiums, so make sure the CPU cooling fan is properly greased down and the airflow is good.
