First their power consumption is lower and then their memory bandwidth is better and you have a SLI platform.

So if i want to get a new system better go fo AMD 64?
Ur sig show 2.4c@3.9,but i saw AMD 64 only can go 2Ghz++ oni

p/s:Im new in overclocking,hope you guys can answer me well.

well, clock speed isn't everything
the architexture of AMD and P4 are diffrent
AMD can perform as well as intel but just at lower clock, not to mention multitasking for single core AMD.....
But if take AMD X2 to compare multitasking with intel......hehe......

So its better for me to get AMD system?

totally depends on you
if u are into gaming, AMD recommended

I know AMD better than P4 for gaming.

Now i want to get a system for overclocking so,which 1 to choose?I preffer P4 but....64 bit..hum

Overcloking a P4 is a lot easier then overcloking A64
There are a lot of factors that you must concern when overclocking A64
ram timings, memory divider, ram speed, LDT multiplier, volts(sure), something like this
while overcloking p4 just raise the FSB and the volts

I'm not sure if this is the right section or not.But I just to ask if a Pentium 4 2GHz cooling fan can be use with a Pentium 4 3GHz HT?

The original P4 3GHz cooling fan is too noisy and I want to change it to my old P4 2GHz cooling fan which is virtually silence.

if the fan's output is the same with the 3Ghz why not?...the only this is ur 2.0 fan issit still working optimally??

how to know if the output of the fan?and what do you mean by working optimally?

output = CFM = the amount or air in manages to scoop in....

optimally = working in good condition.

hmm it doesn't show any CFM indicator on it.The only difference that I know between the two fans is that one has a .016A current and another another one has a 0.44A current. The 0.16A has a relatively small fan and heatsink.But i do need to know if this fan can support P4 3GHz.

does it both has the same size...???

The P4 2GHz is a bit smaller in size compare to the P4 3GHz.

though it can fit but it's recommended to use the 3.0 hsf, cos intel won't be simply increasing the dimension and the fan power just for nothing.
btw, ur 3.0 is prescott? or northwood?

yeah im using 2.4....but i dun tink its 2.4c,i tink its 2.4a..my default is 133x18 n i cant change da multiplier..its locked...o yeah wat do u mean by use da divider?wat does dat mean?how 2 use?lol sorry noob in oc here

Here's my highest non-stable attempt so far...

I would say throw in some money for a better heatsink.

Like thermalright, hyper6+, etc.


pengster, try check ur bios.

There will be divider like 1:1, 6:5, 5:4....

i heard intel got SLI too... on new chipset..

AMD only wins if prescott disable the HT....AMD X2 should compare with Pentium D dual core too btw im intel user here..

lol...AMD XP can't compare with dual core lol
AMD 64 or some stock FX will win prescott is HT disable
but with AMD X2, it pwn Intel on multitaking also, but just, the price
