    Question worth upgrading from xp 2400+ to xp 2500+ barton?

    I have:

    windows xppro
    xp 2400+
    biostar m7ncd pro nforce 2 ultra 400
    2x 256 hyperx pc-3000 ddr
    powercolor 9700np
    wd 80 gig 7200 8 meg cache
    56xcd-rom
    antec bronze case with antec 350 watt smartpower ps

    I have not overclocked at all,I heard that raising the fsb on the cpu causes ati cards to mess up.

    not if you lock the pci and agp bus at 33 and 66MHz respectively. i have OCed my fsb but locked the pci and agp bus and my radeon 9600 pro is working fine.

    stick to your current cpu, there is no point for you to upgrade to a 2500+ barton.
