    Well your current board wont support a 2500XP. You will have to get a new board. An Asus A7N8X is very nice and is $80USD. Thats what I have and I love it.

    @Clocker- Yeah, It lets me change the multiplier in the BIOS, but when I do it always changes it back down to 100MhzX10 lol which I guess is the default...is there any easy way to unlock my chip or nething?

    The board supports the 2600+ with a FSB of 266MHz only. Not the 333MHz version.
    The memory support is also limited to 266MHz.

    if you get the 2500 then you should be able to overclock it to 3200 speeds so yes you will notice a big difference:

    you are going from 266 to a 333 mhz front side bus plus if you overclock you will have a 400mhz front side bus.

    you are also doubling the L2 cache.

    No, it goes between the CPU and the heatsink.
