I have an NF7-S v1.2 with a 1700B that o/c's to 2400mhz. Would it be worth my while to go to a 2500+ Barton? I'm happy the way it runs now but always lookin' for more:D
 
I have both chips. With certain apps (heavy graphics as best I can tell) the 2500 may have an advantage with the larger cache but I see no day-to-day difference. My 1700 overclocks better by a couple 100 Mhz but that will vary from chip to chip. Based on my experience, I wouldn't upgrade.

Try the L12 mod if you're bored and haven't already tried it. :cool:
 
unless you know exactly the right stepping is to get to get high overclocks such as 2.5ghz on the barton i wouldn't go for it...
