The 2500 Barton is the best choice from what I've read...

You know... this is just how most things work for me... I find the best deal yesterday at TCWO for $156 and buy it... By far the best price for reputable stores... Today, the TCWO price is $151 and Newegg dropped theirs all the way down to $149... Bang Head

The 2500+ prices have been climbing though... If I bought one back when this thread started they were $80... now they're $92 at Newegg...

Oh well... I should be able to get this oc'ed to 3000+ at a minimum, and I'm hoping to run it at 400 MHz fsb...

I can get my 266MHz XP2200+ to 350MHz fsb easily on this new board, hope the success translates!

There ought to be a shopper's version of Murphy's Law that goes:

"If you waited for the price to come down on an item before you bought it, it will go on sale within a week."

Or something like that.
