Sorry for the late response Phil, but I just now saw your post. You should have no problem with either as long as your motherboard supports it. I'd get the Barton (newer core). These processors you mention should run pretty close to the Intel 2.4-2.5 GHz processors. Yes they will work with mdk. If you wnet with a 2500+ on a KT400 based board, you will get good support in 9.1. If you were to go nforce2, you will have a few problems unless you install the binary drivers available directly from nVidia. -- Greg
