Should i upgrade from tbred to barton?

[Khyron320]

Im running an xp1700@2013mhz right now i noticed bartons are getting pretty cheap =) i would only do it if i was able to get 2.4ghz stable minum out of the barton core.

A7N8X revision 1.04 with 3x256mb corsair 3200LL

the highest ive ever had my xp1700 on the FSB was 185mhz and it wasnt very stable... right now its at 175 perfect stability its been crunching Distributed folding for a week straight no reboots

2.4 on a 2500+ barton is very optimistic on air.

depending on which stepping you get, you would be able to hit 2400MHz on air...the AQXEA 0324's and 7's, i believe, are able to hit 2400MHz, 2300MHz minimum...what stepping is your 1700+? if it's a DLT3C JIUHB, you should be able to hit 2300MHz minimum...here's are a couple of oc guides:
