I was going to get a new CPU a little bit ago, but some things came up, so I may have to wait a little longer, but I was pretty sold on the 1700XP JIUHB stepping cpu...
Then I saw this today on NewEgg:" AMD ATHLON XP 2500 "Barton" 333 FSB PROCESSOR CPU- RETAIL Specifications: CPU: 1.83 GHz Type: XP 2500 Barton Core Cache: 512K L2, 128K L1, Total 640KB BUS: 333MHz Socket A Retail Box (Heatsink and Fan included) ---------------------------- $98 So, in your opinion, which is the better buy? And why?

The 1700+ is a really nice cpu too, as long as it's a t-bred, and not a palomino. Of course, it's especially nice when you overclock it, so be sure to have a decent HSF. I'm pretty happy with my newly purchased 2500+ barton, but I'm overclocking it as soon as it stops being so insanely hot outside
