Tempting
though it was to run all tests against the 2800+ (333MHz
FSB) there seemed little point as so few of you will
have them. One or two 2800+ results have been included
but for the bulk of the comparisons we used the current
favourite the 2400+. Because this features the older
266MHz FSB we get a real feel for how the combination
of increased FSB and L2 cache combine.

One
of the difficulties we're going to face in terms of
showing the new Barton core XP's performance potential
is the fact that many benchmarks will be very much
frequency dependant. When we look at SiSoft Sandra's
results we're reminded that in pure frequency terms
the 3000+ is actually nothing more than a 2700+. That's
not to say it can't out-gun the 2700+, just that frequency
dependant benchmarks aren't going to do it justice.
