2600+ T-Bred B usually OC's as much as a 2100+ T-Bred B.
What can you do with that 1700+ B?

1.9 is the Barton 2600+ with 512k l2 cache and the 2.08 is the thoroughbred b core one.

I vote Barton for the cache

I just started a "T-bred v. Barton" thread that you might wanna search for. But the results I gathered from it is that you need about 100-200 MHz more in a T-bred to equal a Barton of the same name.

For example my T-bred 2700 has to be at about 11X215 = 2.36 GHz to equal a Barton 3200 at 11x200 = 2.2 GHz.
