Amd Going Intel Need Help

[spyvy]

Well im going to switch to intel which of these processors is the best all around for overclocking. also what are the hot mainboards for these intel chips.. and is the 533 better than the 400 mhz bus??

$234 - Pentium 4 2.53GHz
$184 - Pentium 4 2.4GHz 533MHz
$188 - Pentium 4 2.4GHz 400MHz
$184 - Pentium 4 2.2GHz 400MHz
$183 Pentium 4 2.26GHz 533MHz
$183 Pentium 4 2.26GHz

and what is the differance of a c1 based chip ?? & How can I tell when im buying one..

Are you going RDRAM or DDR? That will play a role in which chip you pic and obviously which board you chose as well.

I will be useing DDR either

GeIL 512MB PC3500 433MHz DDR ULTRA Platinum Series SDRAM CL2/ CAS 2
or Samsung 512MB PC3200 400MHz DDR SDRAM CL2.5 CAS 2.5

The 2.26 Is a really good chip for a DDR based setup. They tend to overclock fairly high. With just aircooling (not extreme at all) I can take the memory to 460 MHz stable all day long and I am limited by the chip. With much cooler temps I can run the mem at 470's and my cpu is in the 3 GHz range.

I like my IT7 although it needs a voltage modification. It also undervolts on the mem and the core a bit.

I would go for the 2.26 as they overclock great, shame they have all been snapped up over here in australia,

some of the 2.4B's arent too bad as well :)

my SL6D7 Sept 11 Malay does 3GHz @ 1.55 and 3.1 GHz @ 1.65 volts rock stable. More of luck really :)
