The 2500+ Barton if I remember was the same chip as the 3200+ just with the FSB pushed down, some of the older ones were unlocked and with a little cash dropped in for cooling overclocked pretty high very easily, but if the multiplier is locked, you can just step the FSB up to 400 and it will read as a 3200+, same CPU I have, and its been stable at 3200 for 2 - 3 years or something.

Explain please.
But, using Thunderbird, Firefox, Antivirus, and 3 different spyware programs helps.
Ok, but I don't see the relevance to OCing a Barton chip.Quote:

kind of a moronic statemen since you were the one who originally asked.
In that case you'd better tell us in detail what "malware, spyware, virii and the many exploits written for Windows" have got to do with OCing the XP2500, since that's what we were talking about here. I'm sure we'd all be interested in your explanation.Quote:

Don't you get it?
As I stated before, I don't have any problems with my rig the way it's setup to run.
I stated the Windows issues because they aren't related to my altered hardware and are the only problems I encounter.
My point being, I believe you can safely overclock an Athlon 2500+.
Geesh, quit reading so much into what I write.
If Windows issues aren't related to your hardware then why bring them into the discussion in the first place?Quote:
