Intel 2.4 or 2.6?

[leo_m83]

Hey guys!


i have and amd 2500+@2400mhz right now watercooled but im not quite satisfied so im thinking of buying an Intel mainboard and Cpu. Now the problems are these:

1. is it better to buy a P4 2.4 or p2.6 for overclocking. How much
would i be able to overclock it do you guys think.

2. How should i choose my cpu for the best overclocking c
chanse? something about stepping?

3.Is abit IC7-max 3 better or Asus p4c400-E deluxe a better
mainboard.concidering the FSB and the voltage settings.



Thanks guys! :)

the 2.4 w/ P4C800 dlx. the 2.4 should NORMALY do 300FSB(3600) on watercooling.

If I were you I would wait for Prescott. Its almost only a week away.

well dude prescoit have problem with heat and besides that they are expensive as hell. intel is going to lower the p4 prices like $50 so it wil be woth buying one anyway. its faster than my amd suker. By the way whaats upp with the p 2.3 C?? what is "C"??

they stand for the FSB speed.

A=400mhz (100)
B=533mhz (133)
C=800mhz (200)

the WC you have will dont bother the heat, and its not expensive!!!!! 280$ for a 3.2 that OC like 4GHz(prooved) on air cooling at 1.575 Vc!!!
