Basically what the title says. I can run my locked 2600+ at 2300MHz and I can run 2500+ at the same speed. They both fail Prime95 at those speeds right away though. What should I keep?

I know the question is stupid but still I want your opinions. Thanks.

The unlocked since you can run higher FSB...which means higher memory bandwidth...which means a faster system at the same Ghz's

Keep the 2500+, since it can reach the same speed with higher FSB.

Ignore the Prime95 as long as your chip runs stable for all the programs you use.

I kept the 2500+ Barton after all. Besides it runs cooler too .
Thanks for advice.

To Sharkman:

I totally agree we should be careful about where we post. However, there is little one can do to change anything after a new thread has been created. I realized my mistake after I submitted the thread. My appologies.
