The bartons are newer, faster, and better (more cache, higher fsb). T-breds oc decently, but the 2500+ barton is about the best for that, you should be able to get it up to 3200+ speed or better. I haven't heard anything consistently bad about the Barton.

For OC'ing, get the nForce2 chipset. Period. Its the best for AMD.

i was thinking of barton too. guitarboy, i never heard any bad reviews of bartons either? maybe ur gramps just got a bad chip or a bad mobo? so karsh, ur saying to get the 2500+ to 3200+? what about starting with a 2600 or 2800? they come in barton flavors i take it. i dont need it to be the best for overclocking just decent enough to use with air cooling. what do you think the top for air-cooling a 2800 would be, so i know to go a notch lower

The OC potential varies from chip to chip, you really don't know untill you get one. If you aren't interested in OC'ing for fun, definitely, get the faster chip.
