In a nutshell, for the desktop:
AMD Athlon Thouroughbred is the first AMD to be built on the 13 micron
core - previously 18 micron or larger. Revison A is the initial version.
Revision B is also known as the Barton core.

FSB/MHz L2 cache
Revision A 266 256k
Revision B 333 512k

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,841178,00.asp may help.

If your motherboard will work with the Barton core, get Revision B. And
how do you plan to cool the Thouroughbred??
