Will an XP 3000+ overclock better than a 2500+?

I've currently got an XP 2500+ barton that i overclock to 2800 speeds by changing the multiplier from 11 to 12.5. I've tried overclocking the fsb as well but it ends up being a little slower in the end than just doing the multiplier. So my question is if i get an XP 3000+ how high will i be able to take it just by changing the multipier. Part of me is afraid that i'll essentially be getting a similar chip as my 2500 barton it will just come clocked with a 13.5 multiplier or something therefore not giving me any room for improvement without adjusting the FSB.

    The 3000+ pretty much is a 2500+ with a 13 multiplier. Ive gotten mine to speeds a little over 2.4 without a problem.

    With all the lock chips out there, and the high probability that you'll receive a locked one, it's far better to go with the 2500+ as it has a lower multiplier and allows for a considerably higher frontside bus.

    The tradeoff being that you need a good mobo and memory, but if you're considering overclocking, you should have both of those requisites anyhow.

    A 3000 does not overclock any better than a 2500, 2800, or 3200.
