It is, its called amd marchitecture, the 2700+ is 2.16Ghz, the 2800+ (tbred) is 2.2Ghz, 3000+ (barton) is 2.16Ghz

There system allows to much for extra fsb and l2 cache, the 3000+ is no faster really than the rare 2800+ tbred, (there are slower barton's now with that ranking)

there will also be shortly 3 2600+ 's with completly different performance characteristics,
1) tbred core 266 fsb (will be replaced by thorton core but same speed as before)
2) tbred core 333fsb (slower clock)
3) barton core 333fsb (even slower core again)

Edit just noticed the other q, if it can only take upto an old type p3 it will be sdr ram for sure
