    tough choice, I'd say the 1700XP JIUHB DLT3C, however, it seems that currently it's out of stock - o well, if you can't w8 for it I'd be tempted to get the Barton just because ...

    Those little Barton 2500+ are really surprising

    Im on 11x210 with mine at the moment, stable as a rock. They are really great if you can't one of those incredible 1700+ JIUHB XP's anywhere.

    Well, after reading the reviews (I think including a good one from hexus), I went for the 1700+.

    And I can't say I regret it. And, even if you do accidentally fry it, it won't cost a fortune to replace

    Mine's running at 200x10 with no probs, but I've been flamed (by acidrainy if I remember correctly) 'cos I'm not o/clocking it enough

    Also, if you don't know how all those codes work, take a look at http://lowyat.isentral.com/nuke/guides/athlonxp/ for a guide. ***EDIT*** Bummer, looks like the link is down. Not sure if it's my proxy at work

    I have an XP2500 Barton and at stock volts and using the stock cooler it is running at 10.5 * 200, top bits of kit plus the prices are well cheap these days. Get one!
