Don't forget that you need to have the Arduino bootloader installed in
the ATmega328, though -- there are sketches to do this with your
existing Arduino at a pinch. Or you can buy a '328 with the bootloader
pre-installed for a few dollars more.

(Provided it's got an ATmega328 in, any USB-enabled Arduino should run
our stuff quite happily -- mine are mostly Arduino NGs, so even older
than yours!)
