Good 2500+ ?

Hi!

I'm getting my Narton 2500+ now and got the person sending it to me to give
me the numbers from the top so I could research it a bit while I'm waiting.
Naturally I'm interested on an estimate of how good a performer it might me
(planning on running it as a 400Mhz processor).
The numbers a

AXDA2500DKV4D F458637270143 AQXDA 0319UPAW

I figured the important bit would be the following:

Stepping Code AQXDA
Manufacture Year 2003
Manufacture Week 19
Production Batch A
Batch Production Number 0143

From what I've gathered a low batch numer (A) is good, right? What does the
batch production number mean? And is this a good speciment of the processor
in general? Any other overclocking related info I can pull from teh full
string above?

Any thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome!

http://www.cpudatabase.com/CPUdb/Showamd.cfm shows the results of several
XP2500+ overclocks. I take the median of 2300MHz as about right.

Been there but it didn't help much as people enter so different parts (none
complete) of the processor string.

I am in the process of specing my next system. I too am considering
going with a 2500+ and setting the FSB to 400. I wonder what are the
general odds of success vs. failure with any given cpu? What factors
contribute to success or failure here? Will I need to go to
extraordinary measures for cooling, for example?
