The 1700+ and 1800+ which run at 1.5v are the best tbreds (256kb l2 cache). If it has "dlt3c" in the part number that means its 1.5v.

The 2500+ is as good as any of the bartons (512kb l2 cache). Over the summer the 1700s/1800s were hitting 2.4g and the 2500s were hitting 2.2g-2.3g. For the last couple of months the 2500s are sometimes doing even better and I don't know about the 1700s/1800s. I'd probably get a 2500 since if you get lucky you'll get to 2.4g-2.5g if you have a good cooler and psu. The best values for each without sacrificing performance are the fortron 350W psu and the sk7+smartfan2 for the cooler.
