i read that whole thread and i just want a simple yes or no :) but it looks like yes :p, I'm ordering a 2500+ from newegg as we speak. Hopefully i can OC it from reading that thread ;P
 
as long as your motherboard supports it, the Barton is better than the Thoroughbred for the same frequency due to the larger cache.

I'm not sure about performance/price though.
 
The Barton is the next generation after the Tbred B..
so it should be better right...it has a larger L2 cache also..

I'd go with an Athlon XP2500..with an Abit NF7-s rev. 2.0 if your interested in overclocking..also if overclocking the ram that u get is VERY important, I can not emphasize that enough..

Good luck.. :)
 
the barton has a higher cache, although you won't be able to tell the difference. I would go with the Barton over TBred though.
