I think there is some misunderstanding that the regular XP chips don't overclock well or something. Generally everyone gets the mobile 2500 up to 3200+ (2.0 - 2.1 ghz) speeds no problems. There are some advantages to the mobile chip, as it does run a little cooler, but in the end the 2800+ is still a faster chip (2.08 ghz stock), and will overclock farther.Dont get the 2800+, get an xp-m2500+ They are about $40. cheaper, have unlocked multiplier, OC like a banshee.
Even in hot enviroments my 2800 runs at 2.5 ghz, now that it is in the cool basement, 2.6 is stable. I don't know many 2500+'s that run these speeds on air cooling.
Yes the 2800+ is a little more exspensive, but with the extra speed, who knows, you may not even have to overclock.
Oh.. and endyen, not saying you have the misunderstanding about the XP chips, I know you understand this. Just my opinion I wouldn't, completely rule out the 2800+. (I think the price jump to the 3000+ and 3200+ would rule them out though.)
