Why does the 2800+ cost more and have a lower clock speed? I noticed that 2800+ has a barton core so Im guessing thats why. Are the barton cores alot better than the Thoroughbred cores?

    The Barton core has 512k of L2 cache. The Tbred core has 256. Hence, the Barton outperforms a somewhat higher clocked Tbred.

    I wonder if the larger cache makes much of a real world performance difference.

    It makes a bigger difference than the miniscule bump in clockspeed does...
