Ziggy54354 Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 Amd has released a new chip using the barton core, the 2600+. http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/m...Category_Code=P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Dont see the point most likely it would oc a little higher then the 2500 but for the price it isnt worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 I already posted awhile back about those guys. they're full o crap! they claimed some cheezy tyan board would take an opteron or athlon xp. when I questioned it they got defensive and said AMD requested they not give me anymore info... then changed thier website and thier pricewatch listing. I wouldn't believe a word they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy54354 Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 no it does exist i just put that up as an example Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErwinRommel Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 So which one's better- the 2500+ B or 2600+ B? I'm not quite sure which one to buy, maybe the new B isn't worth the cash? Should I buy a better graphics card instead of 2600+?.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 I would buy the 2500 and then use the savings to upgrade the video card. There isn't enough of a performance increase to warrant spending extra on the processor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalSloan Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 do all the bartons use the same core? Hence the 2500+ being able to reach 3200+ speeds? I was just wondering about that today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 generally speaking yes. theyr'e all barton cores. however there are 2 reasons it's a 2500+ and not a 3200+. testing and demand. yes some of them won't do better than 2500+ speeds so that's what amd labels them as. others will do better, but amd NEEDS 2500's as opposed to say a 3200+ to fill the demand (and keep the 3200+ at a premium), so they lock mr multiplier down (and fsb if needed) and call it a 2500+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalSloan Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 ah i see, sneaky sneaky amd, so it comes down to stepping and luck of the draw, btw has anyone figured out a stepping of 2500+ that overclocks more than the rest?

bigred Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 they all do it. intel ibm and cyrix do the exact same thing. but on average it's luck that gets you that super overclocker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
