I have not owned a really good Barton Athlon XP since my stupid Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe for no palpable reason at all burned my ultra rare unlocked 2333 Mhz (166 MHz FSB) version of the XP 3200+.
The 2333 MHz XP 3200+ did 2500 Mhz at stock voltage (1.65), 2600 MHz at 1.75V and 2700 MHz at 1.85V not only bench stable but fully stable.
I do have about 10 or so other Bartons but they are locked and/or clocks rather bad but now finally I think I have found a worthy replacement.
I just bought the beauty pictured for 10 Euro + 5 euro shipping. There was only one or I would have bought more.
If someone in the US wants a really good Barton there is a 1.55V version of the XP-M 2800+ AXMJ2800FHQ4 (2133 MHz) on Ebay for $24 or offer. I would have made an offer if the seller was in Europe and the shipping to Sweden was cheaper. There is also one XP-M 2800+ AXMJ2800FHQ4 in France for 32 euro + 5 euro shipping, that is just too much for an Athlon XP CPU.

The Athlon XP-M is fully unlocked so it's capable of running at high multipliers on old VIA KT133 boards. As the multipliers can be controlled with software it can be overclocked in a motherboard with a locked down BIOS.
My new Athlon XP-M 2400+ 13.5 x 133 = 1800 MHz 1.35V 35W. These do not turn up on Ebay that often but the 45W and the 72W versions are more common.
