Amd 2500 Xp-m

The 260fsb is real & then x2 =520 on a DFI Infinity.

Advantage of lower voltage is as has been said
1) can run cooler & quieter
or
2) because you are .2V ahead of the game you can overclock like mad
bit noisy though.

As to the benefit of running 2.6-7GHz it depends what you do with your PC.
If you are doing something CPU intensive then obviously an extra 1/3 cpu speed helps, if you are browsing/word-processing then nothing noticeable.

Well i'm ordering mine on thursday, sod's law says they'll be a mass shortage by then

Hoping to get 2.2ghz at 1.65v , need 1.825v on my normal barton, a bit toasty really for a shuttle ( even if mine does have 5 fans )

Thats what i was getting at about the fsb.

So this looks like the processor to get at the moment then if you are into overclocking.
