LobbDogg Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Yeah , you'll benefit from the extra cache on the CPU by going with the 2500 barton. Sure the clock speed is a tiny bit lower, but you can usually easily overclock to its speeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanksta Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 2500+ BARTON this processor rocks and it will run cooler than the 2600 because the barton core is larger and will give off heat better since it has more surface area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 this processor rocks and it will run cooler than the 2600 because the barton core is larger and will give off heat better since it has more surface area uh, it's alittle more complicated than that I'm afraid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Smith Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 MAN READ UP. FORGET THIS AMD CRAP get a p4 2.4C and o/c it to 3.6 at 1200 fsb it will easily blow AMD's away. lol. I guess u have my opinion about amd now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Smith Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 (edited) lol then u not thinking straight bro. Intel has AMD beat hands down. There is no way around that. you wannabe cheap go with AMD sure no one is stopping u just think twice before u buy, and when u start complaining cause ur AMD is producing too much heat on your 5% oc then we don't want to hear it. FYI a 2.6 can't be o/ced to 3.6 @1200fsb. Edited August 10, 2003 by Will Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
