My specs are below in my sig and its a socket 478 mobo...

3.2Eghz Prescott P4 w/1mb cache

3.4Ghz Northwood w/512kb cache

They are both less than $115...I can only afford a cpu around this price range atm. If you have any other suggestions, please tell me. Thanks!
 
Yes...it would have to be Intel as I seriously doubt you could shove an AMD CPU in to a socket 478 MB...

Now that I am done being a smart-ass...I can't help you. I don't "DO" Intel, though my best guess would be to go with the more cache and overclock.
 
I don't overclock, thats the thing. Anyone else have anymore suggestions?
 
northwoods tend to run a LOT cooler than Prescotts, I would go with the northwood. smaller cache vs more mhz, they bother should perform about the same, but with the northwood you would have lower temps.
 
I have a suggestion,

by anything socket 478 used because new prices are outrageous.

and also, Celeron D's are not that bad at all.

I'm still using 478 & AGP. My 3.0E presscott runs just fine, but hot. I had a 2.8 Celeron D before this, it did just fine.
