I ran alot of the benchmarks at stock speed and the answer to that is that the 2400+ would beat it in most of them. It runs at 1.8 GHz and does about the same as a T'bred running about 50-100 MHz faster. It seemed to do better than that when it came to cache & memory benchmark in Sandra and I also noticed an improvement in 3dMark 2001 and 2003. In 2001 I went from 14500 with the 2.2GHz 2400 up to 14200 with the stock 1.8 GHz Barton. When I overclocked the Barton up to the 2400s speed my score jumped up to 15,900. So it definitely does more work per CPU cycle, it's just that starting out so much slower more than makes up for this. Believe me though, running both stock a 2400 would beat the Barton in 90% of benchmarks. If you have something specific you would like me to test I certainly can. Not sure if Sandra is what you guys use or something else.
