P4 561

[The Doc]

Where can I get ahold of one of these? I heard the 560J and 561 chips overclock very well.

 

[Glyndur]

TigerDirect has them in stock for $430. Google turned up a few more less noteworthy places as well.

I haven't seen any of the 5*1 CPU's for sale anywhere yet. You can probably find a 560J on eBay easy enough.

BTW, what does the "1" in 561 signify? i.e. What's the difference between a 560 and 561?

The 561 is 64-bit.

The 561 is 64-bit.

Ok..... Then what is the difference in the 5x1 series and the 6x0 series?

 

[Mr. Stryker]

6xx series have full EM64T technology and are N0 steppings which can overclock to 4GhZ easily on air, said Chrisf6969.

6xx also added the extra meg of L2 cache and Enhanced speedstep.

 

[The Doc]

The 5X1 series chips are simply 64-bit chips without the extra 1MB of cache.
