I killed my 1.8 AMD suggestions for upgrades

I was running 6 HDs, 2 DVD burners, 1 Floppy, Audiology Z something,
TV Turner, 1 gig ram and a 5800(ish) Video card - All on my 1.8 Ghz
AMD. The PS went out. I upgraded.
My motherboard,cpu, or something then died on me. It will not boot.
Now I've switched to a store bought "secondary system" consisting of
an Emachine with a 330 Intel Celeron D 2.66Ghz cpu.
The machine was worth the money spent but it is short on
upgradeability.
I'd like to get my primary system working again. I'd like a MB & CPU
for around $150.
I was debating a Mercury KVT600x-l with a 3000+ AMD Athlon chip for
$89 or a Mach Speed Viper K8M8MS Sempron 2800 with 512 Megs of ram for
$160.
With the changeing of the CPU nomenclature I cannot keep up with what
is faster. I think that the Athlon is faster, but in some cases the
Celeron is faster. Of the two systems, I'd guess the latter was the
faster. Am I right? (Question # 1.)
Question # 2. Will either system be noticably faster then the Celeron
D 2.66 Ghz system I am using now, or should I wait 4 months and try
again at my $150 price limit?
I'm very open for advice and suggestions.
Thanks
