urghh... you got me wrongly, i mean fsb, sorry..

18 x 187 = 3366 Mhz Memory Speed: 374 Mhz Front Side Bus: From 533 Mhz to 748 Mhz

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:11 AM

Woww, a great one, you're using Asus boards right?? then try cranking more memory fsb to boost performance like mine.....

Don_1 · May 22, 2003, 07:14 AM

P4 2.0GHz @ 3.0GHz default voltage
1024MB of pc2700 default voltage running @ pc 3200
240GB of hd space
Radeon 9700 bios modded to a pro
on an Asus P4PE/l

No_Style · May 22, 2003, 07:16 AM

Don_1, I am impressed. What's the FSB x Multplier?

Don_1 · May 22, 2003, 07:17 AM

150fsb 20multi.

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:20 AM

Woooooowww, DON i'm also impressed....you mean you can actually unlock the multiplier??

No_Style · May 22, 2003, 07:23 AM

His CPU is 20 x 100 = 2000 Mhz @ Stock.

Don_1 · May 22, 2003, 07:23 AM

no the multiplyer is locked.
it's a P4 2.0a

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:24 AM

___________

Don_1 · May 22, 2003, 07:25 AM

But, I do wish it was unlocked

No_Style · May 22, 2003, 07:26 AM

P4 2.0A are Northwoods right? So the VCore is 1.525? That's truly amazing how you got a 50% overclock with default voltage then.

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:32 AM

what's the difference between a northwood and..........ya know the rest.. and what 's mine??

Don_1 · May 22, 2003, 07:32 AM

yep, it's a northwood, yep it's at default voltage..
I can run her stable at 3.2GHz but I have to bump the voltage to 1.65
I would rather just run at 3GHz and keep her at default.

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:33 AM

is that possible, such high bumps without going through the others??

You have a northwood b chip.

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:36 AM

Willamettes were Intel's first P4s. They actually started out in Socket 423 form. After some time, they switched over to socket 478 Willamettes. The next major revision was the introduction of the Northwood core. This core required less power to operate and was able to reach higher clock speeds and such. Willamettes were default at 1.75 V while the Northwoods were 1.525 V or 1.5 V. Northwoods run from 1.6A, 1.8A, 2.0A all the way to the current 3.0 C. So to answer your question: Your core is a Northwood.

I believe:

the lettering..for instance the ever so popular Northwood 2.4A, 2.4B and the new 2.4C. The letters represent the following:

A = 400 FSB
B = 533 FSB
C = 800 FSB

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:40 AM

ya thankz.........you guys have very cool OC with your motherboard (the same actually), does that support dual-channel??

Well, for one I have a northwood A = 100MHz fsb.
You have a northwood B = 133MHz fsb

I can't tell you which one is better..

No_Style · May 22, 2003, 07:42 AM

That's the one downside of the P4PE. The new 865PE board from ASUS is like THE board. I love my P4PE~!

well, seems to me like its time to have a change of mobo, cause you guys can run 533fsb @nearly 800

No_Style · May 22, 2003, 07:45 AM

When I was researching parts for my rig. The prices for the P4PE and the P4S8X were roughly the same. But after doing some hardcore review searching and judging, I sacrificed the AGP 8X and went for the P4PE.

Don_1 · May 22, 2003, 07:45 AM

Yeah the P4PE is an awsome board

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:48 AM

yeah~, i got this P4S8X-X because of the 8x as i've a GFti42008X, but in the sense of Ocing th eP4pe is definitely better....

No_Style · May 22, 2003, 07:49 AM

But since the improvement was marginal at the most, it wasn't worth it. With the coming of new P4 MoBos. The P4PE should be sliding down the price ladder. It's quite affordable...actually VERY affordable for what it's capable of.

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:53 AM

.

speaking of mobos , what 's the difference between the northbridge and the south one??

Don_1 · May 22, 2003, 07:53 AM

I bought my P4PE refurbished from newegg.
So, it was real cheap..

Kgentatszu] · May 22, 2003, 07:56 AM

what does it mean when you use the word refurbished??
