[tagbartok]

An Athlon XP 2600 runs at 2083Mghz. An Athlon XP 2800-M runs at 1600Mghz
Which gives the best real World performance/

the xp-2600 since its got a lot more on the clock speed.

also my old xp-m2600 ran at 2ghz stock so how come a 2800m runs at 1.6 stock? is it a sempron?

Surely a higher number CPU should be faster? Or otherwise thats a stupid system.

It might be clocking down, as some of them do, so might be faster if its under pressure? Not sure really :\

Surely a higher number CPU should be faster?

It depends as much on Cache and how effivcient the chip is aswell as the Clockspeed.
/thinks back to the wasted clock cycles on P4's

Obviously not when comparing to the crappy p4s But within the athlon range, they should at least keep some order to them, if a xp2800 is faster than a xp2400, surely thats false advertising as from the name youd expect the xp2800 to be faster and you would pay more for it
