I would definately get the T-Bird, with an Asus A7V MB.
It costs a lot less than the P3. Equals or betters Intel in many
benchmarks.
And the T-Bird is easily overclockable (with the Asus board)

i've got an Athlon 800Mhz (first generation not T-bird)
No compatibility problem
No heat trouble
Best FPU (great quake3 engine)
Low cost.
really good choice according to me !
tchao!
