AMD Barton 2500+ or AMD 2700+

I noticed the newegg had the Barton 2500+ for $93 and the AMD 2700+ for $141. The Barton looks like a good deal, what is the catch?

Which one should I get?
 
go with the barton if your going to overclock. it should do 2200mhz at default voltage with good cooling



 
the 2700+ will be faster than the 2500+ at stock, but the 2500+ has overclocking potential. Also, its cheaper so i vote for the 2500+ as well

me too
 
Yup, and the extra cache on the 2500+ will help math based stuff more than the extra clockspeed of the 2700+ will.
 
I recently bought the Barton 2500+ and I'm extremely pleased, I highly recommend it.
