Re: Soon to be upgrading...
Are there no markings on your motherboard?
I suppose one way would be to look under your northbridge heatsink and quote the chip model for us.
3DMark 2001/2003 it can sometimes give the model number or try SiSoft Sandra and go to mainboard information.
btw, if your mobo is a year old it is likely that your mobo does not support an AMD Barton, or might need a BIOS update (if its a VIA KT333 based then most likely needs a BIOS flash)
as for price, £80 for a 2800+ is not bad, the 2500+ can be had for about £50-65 i believe, admittedly the difference isn't too great in terms of performance although should be noticeable enough but then the price isn't that much either, most, if not all AMD cpus have high bang for buck rating imo.
