if an athlon CPU is going cost me $100 should i just pay $50 more and get a 64bit cpu?

it more than just that, although 64bit will be more future proof but not for afew years yet. Moreover the k8's on die-memory controller is a big plus point for the 64.

The barton core gained a good reputation for there overclockability, and if you were to build a system around this old k7 then overclocking would be a great idea.
