I have a Tbred 2600+.
I also have PC 2700 memory.
On my Asus board this combination will run quite happily at 200x11.5 (2.3 GHz) with a 1.71 vCore.
No stability or heat issues at all.
I don't think that the FSB is the difference between the Barton and the Tbred.
It's the L2 cache...256Mb versus 512 Mb.
The Barton core 2500+ has gained it's fabled reputation primarily because of it's cheap price...if you can get the 2600+ as cheaply I'd say go for it.
That sounds pretty cool,I think I am going to go for this one and not the 2500+. i figure if I can run it at 2.3 ghz that should be sufficient for the little bit of gaming that I do.I could probably get away with using my 1900+ for a whlie yet but you know how it is with upgrading.
