2800+ from 2200+ Thoroughbred B?

I've just done the maths on the cpu's

2800+ 333 fsb is 13.5x166.6 (2249 true mhz)
2200+ 266 fsb is 13.5x133.3 (1800 true mhz)

Get the Thoroughbred B (2200) (if / when it comes out?!!) and run it @ 166.66 mhz on an nforce 2 board.

Seems to be 129$ for an Asus Nforce 2 board
and 140$ for the CPU (ASSUMING THEY RELEASE A THOROUGHBRED B VERSION!)

So 270$ US for basically top of the line performance, not bad really - plus you might be able to squeeze 170 or 175fsb from the ram / board / chipset / cpu - so that'd be a nice little setup really.

I'll keep my eye out for this one.

Finally my question........ - anyone know if Throroughbred B's will be coming in a 2200+ version?

 
For bang for buck though, the 1700+ might be a good choice too, I heard they have a thoroughbred A edition of that, which is about 60$ US
1466mhz / 133 = 11


11*166.66 on nforce 2 = 1833mhz which is around 2000 -> 2100+ speeds for under 60$ would that be a reasonable ask from that CPU?

 
Does this mean that all AMD cpu's are manufactured as Thoroughbred A's at the moment though?

Wouldn't that mean voltage changes and possible issues with some boards and compatibility?

Therefore they WOULDN'T change over - I thought they only changed steppings from CPU - > CPU without makign a big deal out of it.
