This is interesting...

I ordered a 2.4B northwood core from newegg.. and upon aida32 inspecting it, it says I have a 2.4a with northwood.

Should I be angry, or happy?

 

[BillLeeLee]

Probably angry. The 2.4A has a 400 Mhz FSB, while the B has a 533 Mhz FSB.

This is weird.. my Aida tells me I have 533 FSB, yet I have a 2.4A ... ah well, must just be aida.. pity i don't have the box around here.

Maybe you received a Prescott 2.4A with the 533 Mhz FSB. Wouldn't that be fun.

 

[Porphyria]

Lol , nope, it's northwood core I know for a fact..

Damn, weird.

I wouldn't worry about it. I have a 2.66B, and AIDA32 reports it as a 2.66A (or northwood "A" or something, I forget). I know it's a B though, since my multiplier is 20 (20 * 133 = 2.66 ghZ).

I think AIDA32 is just buggy

I guess so .
