I just found out using the CPU-Z prog, tha i have an 2600+ Thoroughbred cpu... i always thought i had an barton :(

So i was wondering is the above thoroughbred crappy to overclock are r the baartons better?
 
I have a xp2600+ thoroughbred, unlocked, though, and I can get 2.39 stable with pc2700 mem. Looking to get some pc3200 and see what this baby can really do.

bartons have 512K L2 cache
t-bred have 256K L2 cache

the barton is the same as the t-bred core but just has a larger cache

<Edit> Stupid me </edit>

You were right, the Barton is internally the same with the exception of (in some cases) a different VCore and 512K L2.

<--- Is not running full speed this morning. Link I thought said it was different

2390 MHz is an excellent above average Thoroughbred overclock.
They average 2.3 GHz, not 2.4 with average setups.
