Well I think there would be an obvious difference between 2500+ and 3200+ don't you agree? they have a huge price difference

only if you get that far... your set up might only get it to 2800+ ya never know just try it.. slow and steady... as your cooling permits go on up..

I guess, I probably won't overclock for a couple of months because I will be too busy playing games

y woudl u oc the 2500, its fast enuf....and coming from a 400mhz cpu, i think you shoudl see big enuf of a difference.

i dont get why most ppl want to oc...maybe just so they can brag about it. i mean the speed isnt going to be that much more noticable unless u do benchmark. btu for regualr day stuff, its gonna be the same

People say I'll see a difference from the 400mhz and the 2500+ but that's not comparable because the 400mhz can't run the games the 2500+ can. Myabe I'll see a 100fps in Counter Stike no?

First of all (and I'm amazed no one has actually said anything about this), there are 2 different 2500+ processors:

The Barton 2500+ FSB: 333
The Barton 2500+ FSB: 266

I haven't seen any 400FSB 2500+, so if you can point me to one, I'll stand corrected

[Keikan]

I never seen a 266

Also, arn't the new bartons locked to prevent beng pushed to 3.2? Or am i misinformed?

the 2500-266 isnt a barton is it? isnt it just a thourghbred?

the only 400fsb ive seen is the 3000 and 3200

edit: newegg dont even have a 2500-266

edit2: infact the 2500 and everything above it have 333fsb, apart from 3000 nd 3200 which also have 400fsb variants

I guess the Search function is too l33t for all of yous

And no. I'm not talking about the L2 Cache size.... I'm talking about the FSB. That is the difference between Barton and T-bred. Barton is 512 and T-bred is 256. However, I'm only talking about FSB.

Edit - The 266 is the mobile version, I forgot to add
