Are you into Overclocking your processor? If so, then the 2400 might be a good
buy. Initial testing on this tells us that as opposed to the 2200+ which had
almost no headroom, these newer .13 athlon revs are much easier to OC. On the
other hand, the 333 FSB Barton Core is jsut around the corner I think this
spring maybe at 2700+ I think.
