Hey guess just an opion of mine i have a 2400 and a 2500... the xp2400
clocks at 2.0 mhz and the xp2500 is 1.853mhz .. the 2500 will out run my
2400 all day long the chache and the 333fsb of the 2500 makes a world of
difference..

My 2600 is 333mhz just like the Barton, so would the little bit of extra
cache really make the 2500 Barton that much faster than the 2600? I mean if
I dump the 2600 for the Barton, will that cut 10-20 minutes off a video
transcode that takes an hour now??

I seriously doubt it.

If you are really needing serious performance, and your MB supports a
200MHz FSb, you should set your 2600+ to run 11x200. That should give
about a 20% increase in performance.
