Hmmm, would it be the new Thortons now since they are really Bartons?? Anyone have some #s?
I know my 2100 is absolutely insane (went to about 2.4 on air, and still had a ton of room to go) but the 2500s for 90 bucks are pretty hard to beat, and they OC well.
DOSMAN had this to say I'm getting an Abit NF7-S 2.0 to go along with my new CPU.
Oh, and HyperX 3500 RAM.
When you do that, don't miss out on some of the deals like I almost did. If you sort things by 512 on newegg, they have package deals where you buy 512 of ram, but they contain 2x256s in the package, generally cheaper. They do it for gigs too I think. Got a good deal on my Mushkin that way, ended up much cheaper than buying 2 seperate sticks.
If you want to go real cheap, get youself a new duron 1.4 or 1.6ghz, they can easily be modded to AXPs and will overclock in the 2.5ghz on air, all that for 40$... I'm getting one ASAP

I've got green PCB on a TBred-A (and a TBred-B also I think), and my old Pali was on the brown organic PCB.

Camman, then this will make you even more jealous... I had to root around in my "junk drawer" to find my extra athlons... They were buried under the 3 Promise ATA-133 controllers and the Adaptec SCSI controller, next to the A7N8X-Deluxe, the KX7-333, the K7S5A, and the A7M-266, and behind the 10,000rpm SCSI hard drives
damn uuuu!!!!!! I must take pics of random computer parts around my house...damn....too much paper covering everything

If you look at the label or CPU core, it'll say something like:
AMD Athlon<sup>TM</sup >
AXDA1700DUT3C 9468957280062
JIUHB 0312VPMW (m)(c)1999 AMD
That's off my 1700+ TBred B CPU....
AXDA = CPU code. I believe AXDA is for AMD Athlon XP, TBred Core
1700 = Performance Rating or Clockspeed, depending on the chip
DUT3C = Default Voltage
9468957280062 = CPU serial # (I THINK)
JIUHB = Stepping
0312VPMW = Week of production (I THINK)
(m)(c)1999 AMD = legal gobbledygook.
If the stepping code is on the CPU core, the layout will be a bit different, but the info will be the same. For example, my 1700 Palomino CPU has the following code:

The important part for determining overclockability is the CPU code, Performance rating/clockspeed, Default voltage, stepping, and week of production.
Oh, and Leishi/Camman...
This is what happens when you never throw anything away. I've got some extra RAM floating around here somewhere too, but I think it's defective. The rest of my extra parts went into building my "print server" (it's also my primary desktop. 1.3 Celeron for surfing, 1800 @ 2.5GHz for games, dual 2500s as a "toy", plus the laptop... )
hey Geekmaster you're goin to the LAN, right? I need to make sure I can kick you in the shins in person

Wish I could... Parents won't let me. Maybe if you/we/they do it next year, I'll be able to do it. It'd be much more likely if it were during the summer...

Barton 2500, but BEFORE week 32 as the newer is locked.
How do I tell if it's unlocked or not?

Awwww, booooooo. Well, that makes me reconsider buying one. I'll stick with my 2100 thank you very much.
now where are those addy's I posted last night?
a list for u guys.
r u being serious?!!? 2.5ghz?
There ya go...
1800 DLT3C's can do 2.3 - 2.5 on air from 1.8-1.9vcore
However, one thing i've learned from overclocking; don't expect **** out of your chip. It's better to be pleasantly suprised, than expecting it.
if your have a tbred, it should look like the picture below, and your code.
EDIT, i guess there were once.
/me is jealous
i think my 2100 is a palomino....
Green PCB = Palomino?
