I'v been playing with the idea of getting a p4rig as yall remember. and I was mulling over the best board and CPU to obtain when this question arose.
does 533 make a difference when overclocking. are the 533 FSB P4s any different than the 400? or is it all just multiplier settings? because if I take a cheaper 1.8a at 400 and oc it to 133 FSB, wont it be the same as a 2.26, just a little less Mhz? so if I took the less expensive 1.8A and pushed it to 200 FSB it would be 3400 or so, and the 1.8 would be 3600, while the 2.26 at 200 would be 3400. or a 1.6 that would be 3200....... and by seeing that I'd say that the 1.8 will bench higher in clock cycles add have the same score in mem benches if they both get to the same FSB. Am I just stupid, or am I right? this could seriously save me some money if I'm right.
or is this whole thing for the out of the box people that want a higher stock FSB, 133, to get a better mem score, but not overclock. is this correct?
