Someone answer these questions for this noob
Do you have the manual for your mobo? You'll need that if you're selecting a replacement CPU. Most mobos have a max clock frequency(CPU MHz/GHz) and there are different types of CPU sockets. What the max clock frequency is and what kind of socket your mobo has are the first things you need to know. You also can't put an AMD CPU in a mobo designed for Intel chips.
FSB(Front Side Bus) is the speed at which your CPU can communicate with the RAM. Buy a CPU that supports a FSB as fast as your mobo supports.
640k is the amount of cache(very high speed RAM on the CPU). Generally the more the better.
.13 is the size of the transisters(things that run the CPU). The smaller they are the more efficient they are. This doesn't really matter too much.
Barton is the type of CPU core. For most people this doesn't really make too much of a difference.
Boxed means that they send you the CPU in a box. Otherwise you'll just get the CPU in a plastic snap-case thingy.
2800+ is the model number. AMD claims that this means that a 2800+ will preform that same as a P4 2.8 GHz and a 2000+ will preform the same as a 2.0GHz P4 and so on.
There really is no reason that AMD's are cheaper. They're just cheaper because thats the way AMD wants them to be.
