Best CPU for DFI Lanprty NF2 Ultra B

[Meditron]

I posted in another section about the best ram for this board, but now i'm wondering what CPU... I'm prolly going to overclock the board, but either way, I'm wondering if i should get a 3200+ Barton (400mhz), a 3000+, or go with a Moblie... Any ideas? Thanks
PS: I haven't bought anything for the board yet.... so i can't give ya more specs.

I probably didn't do my research... but all of the XP-M bartons i could find have a fsb of 266... and i could only find them up to a 2600+... Ok.. Ok... this shows my noobishness, but are these the cpus that will hit 2.65ghz?

For use in a laptop, an fsb of 133/266 is good, and cool. The same chip may handle 250/500, in a desktop, with great cooling, and a lot of extra voltage. I sold my xp-m2500 over a year ago. It had been running 2.4ghz for a year. The person who bought it has done the same. He's a very happy camper.

OK.... this is good.... I have a few more questions though... is there any reason to get a 2500+ M over say a 2600+ M or higher? i'm looking around e bay right now and i see a few that are dirt cheap. And Non-DOA, but some have a fsb of 333, some of 266. Since i'm going to be putting it higher anyway should i go for the 333? Thanks again.

News to me. I've never heard of an xp-m that used a 166 fsb.
Dont bother with the ones that say 333, either they aint real xp-m chips, or the guy doesn't know shite.
I would recommend the cheaper one, if you know it's good. The truth is, either one will OC as well, it just depends on luck, and skill.

The cpu id that was posted with the "2500+ 333" linked to a 2500+ 266 and was the cheapest... so i'm happy either way. The pic was of a barton anyway. and for $50 i'm not complaining. Thanks for all the help.
