i'd get the Barton 2500+
assuming that they overclock to same levels, the barton still comes out tops

I have a 2500+ barton. out of the box she hit 2300mhz with no problem. i can probalby go higher but im not trying seeing as she "feels" faster in most things than my 2400+ @ 2403mhz did.
nice chip i must say
