A tale of 2 processors

[DaShiznit]

Ok. I need a new processor to replace my current AMD Athlon XP 1600+. I saw the 2600+ (http://www.provantage.com/buy-7aamd14p-athlon-xp-2600-desktop-model-333fsb-barton-boxed-retail-box-amd-micro-devices-axda2600bbox-shopping.htm), and was impressed. But then I saw the 2700+ (http://www.pricegrabber.com/user_sales_getprod.php?masterid=664389&lot_id=759905) at a higher price. The 2700+ has a higher clock speed, but the 2600+ has a bigger cache. Any thoughts? Which would be faster?

What motherboard you got?

Does it support 266, 333, or 400 mhz fsb?

If it can go 400, the xp3200 is the best deal going.

Look for mobile XP 2600s. They overclock much better than any standard XP out there, bar none.
