i currently have a athlon 2500+ in my current system which consist of abit nf7 mobo, (2x256)kingston hyper-x pc3500 ram, and a 9800xt. im fixing to build a server out of some parts i have laying around and need a cpu for it. what i thought about doing was taking the 2500+ out of this computer and placing it in the server system and then purchasing a 3000+ for this computer. i was just wondering how well the 3000+ overclocks (i just bought a thermalright sp-97) and whether its worth the money. should i just buy another 2500+ or will the 3000+ give considerble performance over the 2500+. i realize that i can overclock a 2500+ above the stock performance of the 3000+ which is why i was wondering how well the 3000+ will overclock.
i hope that all made sense.

thanks for the advice

I would consider the AMD mobile CPU's 2400, 2500 or 2600. I believe they would be the best overclockers at the moment...

I'll let u know sunday how high I can take the 2400 mobile on air cooling, should be fun.......!

Since you are trying to config a server type system and thus need stability rather than brute speed, I'd go with the XP3000 rather than OCing. Also, if you're gonna be doing server duties, you may want to get registered memory as well as potentially a RAID setup. But all this depends on how serious of a server you want to run.

How'd the 2400 do after all? Its the lowest wattage lowest voltage 512 MB L2 cache AMD XP. Is it good as a stock chip and as an overclocker vs the 2500 XP-M?

To about the same point as the 2500

Except you failed to spec what type of FLOPs those are and what optimizations are running
