570J Or 670

The 840.

If your board doesn't support it, then get whatever's cheapest. They perform about the same in most benches, and there'd be no noticeable difference between the two.
 
I just tested a 650, it hit 4.0 on stock voltage 0.0 and it runs at 30-40deg idle which is alot cooler then the NON J 5xx
 
I would go a few steps lower and overclock. Get a 640 and some decent aftermarket cooling, cuz those Prescotts run HOT. But you should be able to get to 4GHz with little or no voltage increase.

I dunno with one of them crappy oem coolermasters running at 9v instead of 12v(fan)
i dont break 50 under full load =)
 
Well if you're hell bent on 3.8ghz chip then definitly go with the 670. But depending on your cooling you might be better off just going with something like 640/650 for more of a FSB oc. Plus I dunno if the J series has speedstep for sure and the 6 series does for sure which is definitly a plus unless of course your J series is an ES chip.

Neither!

I'd say wait for the 65nm CPUs either in Single Core or Double Core.

Cedar Mill and Presler will be out next month. They will overclock better than the 90nm.

Think: 250fsb x Default-Multi w/ stock voltages and stock heat-sink/fan.​

which will work oh-so-well in his current mobo. Plus he does not get the performance increase now..
 
of those 2 choices, go with the 670, as it will be N0 stepping and run cooler than the E0 stepping of the 570.

Personally, I'd go with a cheaper 6_0 chip and overclock though, as all the 600 series hit 4+ Ghz on air usually.

I should have stated that this processor will be used for a new machine I am building.

Cedar Mill will work with 925XE .Presler won't.
 
Well then I'm better off waiting for the P4 672. Cedar Mill runs a hell of a lot cooler under load then Prescott does. I'm sure I'll have an easier time reaching 5GHz with a Cedar Mill core then I would with a Prescott core.
