im looking to replace my p4. 2.4 non HT chip im building another computer using old parts for my daughter and mother, for them to use. so it wont be that great of a machine but i will be giving them my p4 2.4c1 chip. i need the chip to be 478 based. and work with a abit ic7-g mother board looking for a good over clocker let me know guys thanks.

alight, well i went ahead a put out a bid on it. hopefully the chip will over clock really well. thanks for the information.
 
well i lost the bid to that one, so i had to go with the next best thing a 3.0 northwood p4. hopefully that will be good enough to get a 3.6 oc?
 
yeah it was a crazy price, so i bought the next best thing and i paid 170 for it. hopefully that wasn't to much. just want my computer to last till vista comes out then i might switch over to AMD with pci-E.
 
actually I like to buy the lowest speed grades and get the highest buses...

ex: my 2.4C @ 1200Mhz FSB

if I was building a new system right now... I'd build it with a 630
the lowest speed grade of the newest/fastest stepping... and OC it up to 4++ Ghz

I'm about to be selling a 2.8C don't know what I'll ask for it, yet... maybe $150
it did 3.2Ghz easily at default voltage in my shuttle, but the fans would speed up too much (too loud) so I backed it down to 3.0Ghz where they always stay whisper quiet.
 
oh. yeah i not really building a new computer, my mom wants to use my old comp but i took parts from it to build my recent computer and now i need another processor so i thought just to upgrade a lil and see what i could overclock it with. 3.0ghz with HT and a 800mhz fsb seems better then my 2.4c non ht w/533mhz fsb i dont wanna spend to much money on buy another mother board and replacing parts. i'll save that for down the road. hopefully this chip i got will be good enough. should run alot faster then my crappy 2.4c

You've got a 2.4b (it might be a C1 stepping) but not a 2.4C.

2.4a = 400 FSB no HT
2.4b = 533 FSB no HT
2.4c = 800 FSB with HT

same goes for 2.8b & 2.8c
