I know this topic is redundant.
But I have an Abit NF7-S that I've been running an Athlon 1800+ Palimino. I'm now considering upgrading to the Barton 2500+.

I'm considering getting it from Newegg. Does anyone know what stepping they are shipping now and how well it overclocks.

Is it worth ordering from newegg, if so then should I get the retail or OEM. Which is a guaranteed better stepping.

Thanks

Thanks guys.

I'm placing an order for a retail at newegg.

It was either this or go completely with intel. This would have required me to purchase a new MB and processor.

Seeing that I had already invested in the Abit NF7-S and its ability to support the better barton, I figured it was worth the investment at the time.

Shame, I'm hearing a lot about the 2.4C.

Hey, BTW the Athlon 64 would require a new platform I guess???

Yeah, and which depends on what athlon 64 you go with. Socket 754 or socket 940 or 939. In any route, needs a new mobo.

My retail 2500+ from Newegg just arrived this afternoon (ordered Monday night, arrived Thursday Noon - ). It's an AQXEA 0330WPMW. My NF7-S should arrive tomorrow and I should be able to take it out for a spin this weekend. I'm not gonna push it too hard before I get a "real" heatsink for it.
