Athlon XP 2500+ or 2600+??

Hi...

I am looking to upgrade from a Celeron 2.0Ghz to an AMD Athlon system. I would like to overclock this new system so my question is which is the best overclocker? the 2500+ or the 2600+?

cheers....

2500 MOBILE if you can find one out in malta.

Yup, the low voltage and unlocked multiplier make it the best Socket A overclocker. Of course, you could wait for Socket 939 (Athlon 63) to come down in price, and get one of those in a few months, which should give a nice boost in performance.

Unfortunately no one sells 2500 Mobile processors here in Malta so I guess the choice is limited to either 2500+ or 2600+ barton processors.

Nah, its all a big scam. AMD forgot to put a bit on the new processors, but it's too late to correct them all now :P

But yes, I meant Athlon 64!

There's not really much of a choice there, get whichever you want. It's fairly safe to say they are probably both more or less exactly the same.
