quick question.. i was doing search prices and the 2500 barton with 333fsb and cost 80 bucks.. then I look at the 2500 mobile barton with 266fsb and it cost 89 dollars from the same site.. Why is this? is there something about the mobiles?

The 266MHz bus version is undoubtedly the Athlon mobile. The Athlon Mobile can hit high clock speeds with lower core voltage. Basically, it's an overclocking monster. It also due to lower voltage is needed for laptop builds. The demand for that CPU therefore is high, and the supply of such prestine silicon CPU's is low since these are cream of the crop, so it costs higher.
In other words, buy it if you want to overclock like mad. (Mine hits 2.4GHz, which is higher than an Athlon 3200.) If you don't, get a normal 2500.

Because most laptops are equiped with 200-pin SO-DIMM memory rated at 266FSB. This is the same reason you have no problem raising the 266 to 333 FSB (133 to 166) and even 400 (200FSB).

Hey Skip,
When I do a search, it says it's for the laptop market.
Am I missing something?
