I have a 551 that supports EM64T (x86-64). According to CPU-Z 1.28 it is an Engineering Sample. This link gives more info on the 5x1 and 6x1 series P4s.

I don't want to spend a lot of money on water cooling, as I'm short on cash right now, plus I don't overclock much, which is why this ES chip (if it is an ES) would not be advantageous to me. And no, I don't know how much an ES chip goes for.

I haven't figured out how to change the multiplier and I have the latest BIOS on my motherboard. CPU-Z does report it as an ES. Here's a screenshot:

If the CNPS700B-Cu is not enough for my Prescott, then I guess I'll sell it on eBay and get a newer one.

I just found out my 3.4GHz CPU is an ES. I hope that's not affecting the temps. I know Engineering Samples are highly sought after by Overclockers for their unlocked multipliers. Mine has 14-17 unlocked. Does anyone know how much a 3.4GHz ES would run for? (Slighly used ofcourse)
