Most of what's left out there is very week in comparison to your 2500+ Barton. You can get a Sempron 2800+, but it's basically a souped up Duron; and I don't think it will perform as well as the Barton, though it will run cooler (less heat). You might try Ebay or anywhere to see if you can come up with a 3200+ Barton.
