2600+ 266FSB : 2166MHz
2600+ 333FSB : 2083MHz
2500+ 333FSB : 1833MHz

The 2500+ is a pretty good overclocking, it's the slowest barton.
The 2600+ is overkill for OC, you got slower (cheaper) equally preforming CPU's. So there's no reason for getting those.

and a barton 3000+ ?

don't go for it.
You should reach those speeds with a 2500+, so it's just waste of money.

Barton has double the L2 cache, that helps with benching.

A 2500+ is a barton.
that's why I recommend it.

tests with barton , palomino and tb cores

Definately 2500!!! :grin: :hello: :king: :mad:

duh!

there hot :ws:

btw, if you go on aircooling buy a decent one because they heat alot ;)

ik haal ook 2,2ghz met m'n Barton 2500+ alleen als ik hoger dan 175mhz fsb ga, begint hij onvermijdelijk te crashen, hoe zou dit komen? Ik draai nu op 170mhz fsb x 13mp => 2,21ghz, temps : 35-40 belast
