With a core voltage of 1.65 Volt and a clock speed of 2250 MHz (Athlon XP 2800+), the maximal thermal dissipation is 75.3 Watt, while that of the Athlon XP 2700+ (2166 MHz) is 68.3 Watt." For that only reason I prefer the Athlon XP2700+ since the performance difference is NOT that Great. PS: The only measure of performance that really matters is the amount of time it takes to execute a given application. Contrary to popular misconception, it is not clock frequency (MHz) alone or the number of instructions executed per clock (IPC) alone that equates to performance. True performance is a combination of both clock frequency (MHz) and IPC. http://www17.tomshardware.com/cpu/20021001/xp_2800-01.html
