So is all this hardware compatible w/ XP and 2000 and 98SE?

All of it should be compatible if it comes with a drivers disk/cd.

You are cutting yourself short for that much money.

The P4 2260 would not cost that much more and you would get 533 FSB.

Have you thought about just installing a new motherboard, CPU, and DDR-RAM?

A bundle with a tower and a 400 plus power supply?

eBay $175.00 plus $95.00 shipping to Canada = $270.00
