well, i read so many good things about the p4 2.4c m0 chip, so i went out and bought one.....

and to my disappointment... this chip isn't prime95 stable even at 280fsb..... (still testing at the moment) which means this cpu will run slower than my 2.0a chip which is fully prime95 stable at 3.44ghz.

which cpu is going to be faster?

is it my 2.0a @ 3.44ghz (fully stable at prime95)
or
the ht 2.4c m0 steeping @ 3.33ghz (so far so good w/ prime95)

opinion....thx guys!

280x12 owns 172x20 all day any day.

that's probably true...

i am currently setting the 2.4c at 12x271 in order to run my ram at 217mhz @ 2-2-2-6 turbo setting..... hopefully it will be better off w/ the 2.0a setup

why you dont sell the 2.4 and buy a new one?

BTW: 2.4C is still better at the end
