And here in lies the quandry.

At CPU Databse the avg OC for the 1700 is 2116. The avg OC for the 2100 is 2339. The prices respectively for each chip at Newegg is $44 and $74.

In other words, it's a draw. A 1700 from Excalibur costs and performs the same as a 2100 from Newegg.

This is because a majority of the people who have OC'd their 1700+'s did not get the right stepping. It would be a different story if they had the 0310 DLT3C 1700+. It is harder to find a 2100+ that will OC as good as the 0310 DLT3C 1700+'s do.
