i'm currently running an xp 2800, and i have to say that it oc's great. even with stock cooling, i'm able to run at a 1.8v core voltage, with a 400mhz FSB, @ 2.2 Ghz. (speed of an xp 3200).

2500 would be cheaper. basicly all bartons oc to the same level.

set ur fsb to 200 with a 2500 and boom!!!!!!!! u got a 3200.

i would have to agree with ALL4AMD, 2500 will be better if your OCing, cheaper and will do the same as a 2800

mine officially is stable at 11x210(2310mhz total) at 1.75Vcore
and with my zalman i only get up to 43 CPU temp under prime95 torture
