Which is the fastest Socket A CPU still available?

I have a XP1700 running at 2.4Mhz, but I want something faster!

Which was the top of the range flagship Socket A CPU?

Ebay will be the best place to look for any socket A cpu's.

2.4ghz is a huge overclock on a xp1700.... already!!!

I think, young Donny, to get any real performance increase you'll need to switch platforms...

Get an unlocked barton or mobile 2500/2600 cpu and overclock it.

Was the 3500+ Barton the fastest?

Consider moving to core 2 duo? You can likely take your current RAM, PCI/AGP cards over if you use an ASRock board. Even an E4300 CPU will be a hell of a lot faster than an Athlon XP 3200+ (top model? Was there an XP 3400?)
