XP 2100 or 2400 for OC to FSB333?

All I have left to do with my secondary rig is buy a processor and OC it... right now I've got the XP2500 from my primary rig in there. I can't change multipliers with that board for some reason. All I plan on doing for the OC is changing from FSB 266 to FSB 333. Which chip should I buy? The 2100 is default VCore 1.6 with 90C max temp, the 2400 is default VCore 1.65 with 85C max temp... ?

Thanks!

    From what I remember in the past the 2100s have OCed better I think.

    Better to get another answer tho.

    2100+ 13x 133.3mhz = 1733mhz

    13x 166.7mhz = 2167mhz

    2400+ 15x 133.3mhz = 2000mhz

    15x 166.7mhz = 2500mhz

    Hrm... 2500 MHz... d'ya think it'd make a 166 FSB without any issues?

    2.5ghz not likely on air, but possible on Water.

    The 2100+ (1733mhz) is more likely to OC to 2167 on a very good air cooler.

    I OC'd the old 2100+ with no problem at all on an AX7 with 35 CFM Sunon. It ran even cooler with the SK7 and 53 CFM Mechatronics that will be on there. Your SLK-800 will be going on my 2500+ that I'll OC to 2.2 GHz when I get the DFI motherboard...

    2 reasons:

    1. After my disastrous experience with the KX7 (I think that was the model) I'll never buy Abit again.

    2. The price of the DFI seems fair considering it's UV reactive, comes with a full set of round cables, and has the FrontX connector and has a case-carrying strap with it too...

    I guess its fair if you use those things.

    My KX7 is still kicking at 1.9 for about 13 months now. Maybe once I get better RAM I will go over 2ghz.

    Get you the 2100 because you will stand a better chance of getting a newer stepping with the 2100 than with the 2400, IMO. Plus, like Omega said, 2167 is a lot more doable on air without having to resort to extreme cooling and vcore.
