Roughly the same price, XP 1500 a little more. For a board that is SDRAM only and going to be used in a car, what would you guys go with?

If it's only a little more then why not get the newer cpu. If you decide to sell it later it'll be easier and hold the value better.

Just make sure your sdram mobo supports the XP+ chips. Some do, some don't. Prolly need a BIOS flash even for the one's that do.

better the bottom end of a current line than the top end of a core thats being phased out very soon and most motherboards support the 266 bus

more room to overclock & heat is down from the tbirds for sure

I have 1600,1700 & 1800 XPs plus a tbird 1400 unlocked I have to find a home for
