Im gonna buy a new proc tomorrow but I dont know what to buy. What is the difference between an AMD Athlon xp2600+ and a AMD Athlon "barton" 2600+.

Thats the barton and it seems to be the same if not better than a regular 2600+

The barton is 6$ more and comes with package, heatsink, and fan and its cache speed is 512 vs 256.

I have a 100$ to spend on a new proc is that the best deal for the money?
 
im glad u mentioned whats the best deal for the money. GET THE amd 2600+ barton if u have the money. You can't go wrong but be sure ur mobo abd ur proc is compabile.
 
So even though the Operating Frequency is is 1.9ghz with the barton and 2.08ghz on the non barton, I should get the Barton because it has the better Cache at 512 vs 256?
 
or save yourself 20 bucks or whatever by getting a 2500+, no point in paying 20 dollars for .07Ghz more... would notice absolutly no difference..
 
I just picked up a 2800 xp for a good price.(barton) Should be here around thursday or friday. Ill let you know how I like it. I agree w/ barton cores, there great.
