With really good cooling, you can make some of the freak Athlon XP's (1700+b core, 2100+, 2500+ Barton) do simply amazing things.

The written world record for overclocking an Athlon XP 2100+ is astounding. The 2100+ b cores start at 1.73 GHz. A tech forum I go to has a user that has liquid nitrogen cooling installed on his system with his 2100+ running at <B>3.3 GHz</B>. Yes, his 2100+ is overclocked nearly 1,600 megahertz. I shit you not. My Barton 2500+ will overclock 500 Mhz with a <B>good CPU fan</B>. That's why I suggest getting an Athlon XP if you want to spend less than $100.00.
