"Barton" XP2500 Overclocking

9th June 2003, 01:50

i think you better read the whole article befrore shooting this processor down. a lot of people reach 2.4 and 2.5 with standard air cooling not to shabby

indeed, I reach 2300Mhz, even when it's extremely hot in here
--> I need a new and better fan (and not only for my pc)

then my statement still remains correct, since the XP1700+/XP1800+ is still the budget overclocking king...

cost half as much as the Barton XP2500+ and clocks as high & higher..

9th June 2003, 11:45

correct,
but the Barton XP2500+ doesn't cost twice as much anymore (95,9 €)
and has off course a larger l2 cache

jmke · 9th June 2003, 11:49

the XP1700+ costs 45€ ...

9th June 2003, 11:56

sure, a normal XP1700+ that is,
(those can't go higher than a XP2500+)
but the good ones, like DLT3C,
cost 75 € or more

only in shops that make a difference between the two

again correct (darn u

)
but in that case u have to be very lucky to get an DLT3C, which is hard to find these days(people, looking for a good XP1700/1800, pay even more than newprice on fora)

ergo saying that XP2500+ is much more expensive than a Xp1700 isn't always true:
ur lucky, and have a cheap DLT3C
or u know alot about their cores, and ur willing to pay more

Are there already some good overclocking steppings known?

17th June 2003, 18:03

there's only one stepping of Bartons
the only difference is the week they're produced. the later manufactured, the better they clock
