Thanks for the advice. I will try the 2500+ and an Ultra all copper fan
ULT32017.
I will still have to short out the two pins to unlock this chip?

I'm thinking of upgrading and overclocking. I read a review that said
that
Gigabyte MoBos can unlock Bartons without any hardware modification
with
Easy Tune 4. Is this true for all Bartons?
My other question is would I be better off OC'ing a Barton 2600+ ($100)
or
3000+ ($200). My main objective is number crunching speed. Would the
3000+
be a waste of money or will it hit a faster speed or the same speed as
2600+? I'm planning on keeping the PC 2700 RAM and looking at the
7N400L
MoBo.

better off oc'ing a 2500 @ 11*200 @ 1.65V
Mine won't do it at 1.65. It only became prime95 stable around 1.775
with MBM showing 1.86 vcore. A7N8X Rev2 DX. Diode runs 48-50C working
hard so I think it's fine. Zalman HSF so it's even fairly quiet. Can
hardly hear it over the 4 case fans, 2 PSU fans, and VGA fan.
