Most overclockable AMD CPU?

1700 or 1800 DLT3C's get the best o/c's.
Indeed, I've just ordered one of the latter to replace my 1700 DUT3C -
currently at 224 x 9.5 = 2128 (which'll replace the house-server's 800MHz) -
in the hope of reaching anything from 2300 to 2500MHz.
I'll let you know how it goes (tomorrow).
I also considered the 2600 TBB and 2500 Barton (an unimpressive o/c'er - and
the extra cache doesn't yield as much as the extra speed of a DLT3C o/c).
Based on o/c databases and anecdotal accounts, the best bang for buck is
currently the DLT3C.

Sorry, this question probably comes up all the time, but I didn't find
any with google, so...

Which is the most overclockable present AMD processor?

I've found several mentions on the net of AMD XP1700+'s running at a
little over 3 GHz - a clock increase by more than 100%. Is that the
champ? (Also, how is it possible that this CPU overclocks so well?)

Agree, DUT3C can reach 2600 speed max for me. It requires too much voltage
pumping to get up speed.
