AthlonXP Mobile (Barton) 266FSB

Well I just noticed how cheap these mobile Bartons have become. Decided to upgrade out AthlonXP 1800 to a 2600 Barton - note the mobiles use a 266FSB rather than the 333 or 400MHz FSB of the desktop variant. So I could upgrade our old 1800 without changing the memory/motherboard. Gigabyte thoughtfully just released a new BIOS to support these higher speed versions.

Power drops from 66W to 45W and at $99 from Newegg (with free shipping) I think the processor will pay for itself just in electrical savings.

What a difference from Intel's offerings where upgrades are severely limited.
