What one should i buy

[phil_monk]

i have seen the barton 2500+ for £79 on one website and then on another i found the 2600+ Thoroughbred for the same price......... which one would be the best buy?

The Barton.

[EndobioticChaos]

I'd say the TBred. The Barton depends on extra cache for it's PR, but not all programs make use of cache. But even with the programs that make the best use of the extra cache, I'd still say the TBred would do as well or better because of it's faster speed. Just my two cents.

I'd get the barton and overclock it.

Go ahead Bruneau....show'm the link.


I think the barton, on average, overclocks faster than 2600+.

barton baby, make sure you have PC2700 ram!

I'm not sure which link you mean. There are guys getting good mhz out of em at Xtreme Systems forums.

I know that the overclockers.com data base shows a higher avg. for the 2600 but I find it questionable. Some of the highest claims are showing Tbred a codes. Hmmm??? Never was a 2600 A Tbred, that I know of.
