Which is best?

Alright. I've decided it's time to get a new system going. I'm on a pretty tight budget, however I've singled out the Motherboard I want, and now I'm in a 'Pickle' between these 4 processors.

The setup will be on the ABIT NF-7, Here are the processors.

- Mobile 2400+
- 2400+
- Mobile 2500+ Barton
- 2500+ Barton

Which do you guys think would be the best 'Bang for my buck'. I want the machine to Overclock real well on just Air.
I'm probably going to get a Zalman, if that helps your descision.

Other Specs:
1024MB DDR400
FX5700Ultra
60GB Maxtor
 
Mobile 2400+. It overclocks real well, and you don't want to spend more money on a fater proccessor if you are going to OC it anyway. You should be able to get pretty decent performance from it on air cooling, and OCing the Mobile is so much easier as it isn't multiplier locked.
Good luck with it.
 
Definitely one of the mobile bartons. Some say the 2500+ is better, some say buy the 2400+ and pocket the different. It is a small difference in actual clock speed for the price difference. And, as I said, a lot of people are very happy with their OCed 2400+s.
 
Go with one of the mobiles. The difference between the mobile 2400 and mobile 2500 is probably just personal preference and budget constraints. Both should overclock well.
 
Alright I think I'm going to go with the Mobile 2400+
Any other suggestions guys?
 
I'd consider an NF7-S instead of the plain vanilla NF7. SATA, NIC, Soundstorm. I'd also look at the Zalman CNPS 7000A/AlCu mentioned earlier by jamestime88.
