P4 Northwood Overclocking Adventure | |

The new "Northwood" Pentium 4's are making quite a stir in the market right now for their incredible value and overclockability. Seeing that it was time for me to upgrade anyway from my Pentuim III 1000mhz, I went out and started researching for the best value out there, for me, on the market today. I've read thru tons of review from just about every site a search engine could find, as well as just about every decent public computer forum out there! Surprisingly though, my biggest dilemma was not the CPU, but rather the motherboard itself. I was coming from an ASUS MB and never had a problem with it so that was my first target. Choosing the right cpu was a little compelling, but not too bad. I was looking at the 1.6A and the 1.8A P4 chips. After my hefty research, I've found that both chips have a very high percentage of getting a great overclock. So it really came down to me deciding if I wanted to spend the extra cash on the 1.8A and go with the odds of getting it alittle higher than the average 1.6A overclock. | ||
