unlocked 2500+ vs. locked 2600+
This x-mas i will be doing a major upgrade including ram, CPU and Mobo. Depending on how the money works out i will have 100 bux to spend on a proc (i have a source sellinga 2500+ unlocked for 100) or i could get a 2600+ probably locked from newegg. Secondly if i cannot get a 100 buck chip and have to resort to an 80 buck ish chip, should i go for a locked barton 2500+ or a t-bred b 2400+ (unlocked). Keeping in mind that i am on a limited budget that most certainly wont go over $300 and will be closer to 250 so i wont be getting the fastest most overclockable ram on the market. I know i posted a similar thread recently but as i narrow down the criteria, i need some more specific advice.
