I have an 1800 that does 2.4ghz at 1.85v. Is it worth it to upgrade to one of thoes magical 2500 Bartons?

I like mine. 200 x 11 @ 1.725v. I haven't had mine up the 2.4G but I haven't put that much voltage through it either.

you probably wouldnt get much if any over 2.4ghz, and the barton is about 3-5% faster at equal clocks, would a 3-5% increase in performance be worth the 80-90$ for a barton 2500?
if so, then yes, it would be worth it. i wouldnt though

I thought 1800's don't o/c well at all? I would go for the Barton if you are looking to upgrade, if just looking to spend then don't bother.

I dont remember what steppign it is, but it is very recent. Less then 2 months old. I use an NF7-S at 228 fsb. 2x256 Corsair 3200LL sticks at 2-2-2-8-t1 timings at 2.9v. Vantec Iceberq 3 on the northbridge, Vantec passive sink on the southbridge. Tweakmonster sinks on the MOSFET's. Watercooling for the cpu. That about sums it up. lol

Ohh, I am happy, believe me. =)
Its just that I got a large order for PC parts, and I have a chance to order some things for myself. It would cost me a maximum of $10 or so to upgrade my 1800 to a 2500. Although judging from the input, I might stick with my 1800. =)

Its $10 considering that the 1800 goes into another computer. Still cheap, but a good deal.

SilverArrow if they are really $10 a pop buy 3, if the first one is a keeper, sell the other 2 on ebay and you'll get us$100 for them atleast... if the first is a dud, check out the others one buy one, i'm sure atleast 1 of them will satisfy you and you can sell the rest on ebay and get atleast us$90....

Hmmm... $10... 2.4ghz on water is slightly less than what could be expected from the newer Bartons. All of the newest Bartons and T-Breds are capable of at least 2.5ghz on water, many can achieve this on air. The Barton does have a slight edge in performance per mHz than the T-Bred as well. I'd say upgrading to one would be a worthwhile $10.
