Whats a good barton core AMD chip that OC's pretty well? Anybody have anything against the 2500+s? Which, if any, of the barton's have a locked multi?

    Right now, all the desktop athlons are locked. Pick up a 2600m. :)

    Any differences other than the mobile designation?

    Lower wattage.
    Mobiles go all the way down to 35W I believe.

    That leaves more headroom for OC'ing. :rarr:

    1.45v default vcore, unlocked multipliers... 2.7GHz+ on air cooling... other than that, no, no difference... :D

    Sounds like the new 1700+ =) Just so I'm clear the 2600m is unlocked, yes?

    Yes they're all unlocked so the power saving technology can work (it scales down the multi).

    Average overclock is in the 2.4-2.5 range on air (The one I have does 2.55 on an NF-7 V2 in a crappy overclocking case (Antec AMB 3700) on with Thermalright ALX-800 with 80 mm smartfan.

    I'm pretty sure mine would go higher if I had a little better cooling as I've had it stable for 5-10min at 2.62.

    Mobiles are the cream of the Athlon XP crop. You'll get at a minimum 2.3ghz air.

    Folding tinkers my 2500+ @ 2.5 can get up to 1600 PPW (if it got a steady diet).

    I've been eyeing the 2200 Mobile on newegg....1.35V, 35 watts. Wonder how it would do on good air cooling?..I've been somewhat dissappointed with my 2500 barton..so $77 is kinda tempting ;)
    Anyone tried one of these yet?

    I've been waiting for someone to get that CPU and try it out.

    The 2200 Mobile only has a 256 L2 cache but your Barton and the 2400, 2500 and 2600 Mobile has 512 L2 cache.
