I'm upgrading from AthlonXP2200 to Athlon64-2800 (754) or P4 2.8...is it worth? How long does it take to encode a 23min avi to mpeg1 (tmpeg) with the mentioned processors? I'm on a budget Socket 939 is expensive.

I don't think it's worth it:

I think it's not worth it.
Wait another year or two.
The single core 939s with be the price the 754s are.
In my opinion a P4 is never worth it.
AMD all the way.snappy phrase
I don't know what you're talking about. -
TMPGEnc is well multithreaded. It runs nearly twice as fast on a dual core CPU (compared to a single core CPU of the same clock speed). Save your money until you can afford an Athlon 64 X2 3800+.
Fry's has those on sale with a motherboard every other weekend for US$279.
Have you seen this thread about benchmarking TMPGEnc?
