What CPU to buy now?

Elbowhite

I'm buying a new CPU. I was reading many post on the net and here and came co a conclusion that it's better to buy a TBred than a Barton because of the o/c score. Many TBreds can come up to 2500 or 2600Mhz but BArton on the other hand came only do 2200Mhz. So, please suggest me what to buy this time for sure. I know that BArton is better because of the higher cache memory but...
Help please!

Bleh, several new bartons reach 2300 easy. It's your choice though.

uh... one of my 2500+es does 2.37GHz in an A7N8X-Deluxe. The other manages 2.3GHz...

My JIUHB DLT3C 1800 does 2.3 @ default voltage in the same mobo... a 2500+ should OC very well (in the right board) and the extra cache is advantageous...

Get one of each and send back the one with the lower scores. Simple enough???

the barton 2500+ is a hot choice these days but the tbred 1700+ still kicks butt for what it costs .
