Get the Barton 2500+

In any case you won't see the difference unless you do a benchmark test between any of the above CPUs.

I agree. It is at the $85 price point. At that price you have to admit its a steal.

Watch out overclocking that. Check your CPU temps first, see if they are low, then decide. I would not overclock beyond the MHz of the XP 3000+ without much better cooling. You might end up with a dead CPU.

ALWAYS get your cpu retail vs oem! You pay $5 more for retail & get a stock HSF. But with retail you get a 3yr warr. With oem you ONLY get a 15-90 day warr.

Why overclock? It's going to be way faster than what you have now anyway.

That CPU can be had localy about $135 Canadian for Retail boxed version. So with the exchange, shipping etc. it's not worth it to get it from th US.

Get the Retail box version as you get a cooler and a 3 year warranty. The retail cooler also is good enough if you don't overclock (save yourself some more money).
