Sorry my question was not worded better, but I am not to familiar with hardware. I am upgrading my computer. The store that is selling the two cpus is he http://www.cas-tech.ca/ If you click on the CPU button on the left hand menu you will see the cpus listed. The two I am considering a AMD Barton XP 2500+ FSB333 AMD Athlon XP 2600+ FSB333 The Athlon CPU is NOT a Barton core, however; I am aware Barton had the 512 cache, so I am not sure what to do  I need some advice from impartialthird parties. Here's what th4e website shows. DESCRIPTION PRICE AMD Athlon XP 2200+ FSB266 Retail 99.99 AMD Athlon XP 2400+ FSB266 Retail 114.99 AMD Barton XP 2500+ FSB333 Retail *** Promotion *** 120.99 AMD Athlon XP 2600+ FSB333 Retail 144.99 AMD Athlon XP 2700+ FSB333 Retail 167.99 AMD Barton XP 2800+ FSB333 Retail 195.99 AMD Athlon XP 3000+ FSB333 Retail 274.99 AMD Barton XP 3200+ FSB400 Retail 304.99 Note that they also show the 3000+ as an Athlon instead of Barton and if they were specifying barton core Atlons by using AMD Barton then this is wrong. All 3000+ Athlon XP are Barton cores. In the end it wouldn't matter to me though since the 2500+ is the best buy. It seems high though even assuming that's 121cad, (91US). There's several places that sell them for $80US shipped. Might be a good price if there's duty to be paid on it. Good luck. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html
