Arghhhh!!!! Why did this have to come in stock BEFORE my trip to Vegas?!?!? :| Was not supposed to be in stock until the 3rd :|

Gotta resist, I could turn that $180 into $18,000 and buy the best of everything. It'll be around when I get back, self-restraint is a good thing.

I'm not worried about it, I leave for Vegas tomorrow and return Sunday. Plus everyone knows 99.9% of AMD users that buy from these places are WAY too cheap to spend more than $100 on a CPU, that's why it says limit 10 rather than the usual limit of 2 or so on a new sub-$100 CPU ;)

Btw, anyone else notice that the 3-year retails are not much more than the OEMs? This may mark the first time in history I buy a retail AMD CPU :Q

Hmmm....I wonder how these will overclock compared to say the 2100+ Rev. B? I was all set on what to buy, but these look to be good prices....

according to some people in the link posted above they overclock just as well
plus you get the extra cache

also they are the same stepping as the 2800+ barton
all bartons i've seen people with are

check out this guy.


linkified for your convenience
is there any news of AMD releasing lower clocked Bartons? i was going to get a 2100+ T-Bred B, but i might consider the 2500 Barton, even though $180 is a little over my budget.

I see from This Database that the 2 2500 Bartons listed are not doing too bad. :) (2.5-2.75GHz) The 2800 Bartons are hitting 3GHz. Considering the $$ difference, the 2500 should be fine for me... ;)

that guy with a vCore of over 2 with air cooling isn't going to have very much fun when the thing fries. if the Barton's can hit 2.4 with good aircooling (slk-800, medium fan, that kinda thing) at 1.85 volts with any regularity, then i might get one. hey, why have a credit limit when you aren't going to push it ;).

Well...I just got the 2500+ from newegg...hopefully it will prove to be a good overclocker like the 2100+ Rev. B is...I'll let you guys know when I get it.

Just when you think you've got the AMD "PR Rating" figured out... they throw a monkey wrench into the works!
Back to the drawing board. :Q
