Asus A7A266 upgrading CPU

[sjm]

Hi. I'm new to these forums.

I have the above motherboard with BIOS 1008 with an Athlon 1700XP.

I was looking to give it a new lease of life by replacing it with an Athlon 2400XP. Apart from upgrading the BIOS should this be a straightforward enough change?

I was also going to replace the GeForce3Ti200 with an ATI Radeon Sapphire 512MB X1650PRO. Any comments on the wisdom of this upgrade path?

I'm really upgrading to extend the life of the machine for a year or so until I replace it.

Thanks

Have you tried overclocking that XP1700+ ?
