some AXP advice needed...

Is this core any good?
AXDA2200DUT3C
JIUHB0302RPMW

BTW, I've 4 options for processors ~
2200+
2400+
2500+
2600+

I'm thinking of getting the 2400+ (for the price) or the 2500+ as its got 512KB L2 & 333MHz FSB. Will run synchronously with my DDR333 memory! What do you guys think?

i think most here would prefer DLT3C over DUT3C

w/ the 2500, it would run well w/ your 333, but you won't be able to overclock the fsb too much past 166, like myself, i'm stuck at 172 right now b/c of my ddr333 ram, so you'll want to get some ddr400 or ddr434 if you wanna get over 200fsb

Thanks for the info. Won't be overclocking it. I'll probably get the 2500+ then. I'm sure the extra cache would be needed in some app. And the 333MHz FSB is a bonus in every case.

Go with the 2500+ and see if it'll run at 12x166 with the stock cooler while keeping the max load temp under 50C. At that speed it'll smoke the other options you are considering.
