which one is better for gaming and overclocking?

If you have pc3200 memory get the 2500+ because you will get more FSB out of it since it uses 11x as the multiplier. If you do not have pc3200 ram then get the 2600+ that way u have .5 more multiplier to make up for slower memory.

if they are both locked, i'd go w/ the 2600+ because the multi is higher. If they are before week 40, you should be fine and i'd go w/ the 2500+

so the 2600+ barton locked is better overclockable then the 2500+ barton locked??

both with pc3200 memmory

I think most people, including myself, would recommend the 2500+ if you have the memory and the motherboard to get 200+ FSB. 2600+ I would recommend for those who have pc2700 ram.
