Can any AMD processors above XP2100 be overclocked?

[dp80]

I know of how good the xp2100 throughbread can be overclocked but are there any higher processors, ex. xp2200 or barton, that can also be overclocked to higher speeds, using the right products? Thanks!!

yes

only if you believe in a higher power.

Just about any processor can be overclocked by some amount.

Got 2 Bartons (2500's) @ 2.2+GHz and a 2400XP @ the same...so yes again

Ok thanks was just wondering. I know of all the talk of the xp2100, I am looking to build a new system, I wanted to actually start at a base of 2ghz, like how the xp2100 starts at 1.7ghz without any oc'ing, then work up from there. I hope you all get what I'm saying, what AMD processor that has a base speed of 2ghz and up is GOOD to overclock to better speeds and is decent at handling it, like the xp1700 and 2100. Thanks again!

The 2100+ and 1700+ overclock so well because they are very similar to things such as the 2400/2600. The 1700/2100 are just chips that failed to make it to 2400/2600 etc speeds at the required voltage. Basically, you'll only be able to hit a certain limit whichever chip you choose, and normally the 2100/1700 have the biggest percentage increase in clock speed, and are the cheapest, so they're the ones people overclock
