So my take on the situation at the moment is get a Nortwood and stay away from the Prescott until Intel fixes the heat issue with the Prescotts, because the Prescotts feature a much higher heat output and lower performance than the Northwood.

Why not just go for AMD. Single channel Athlon64 can easily match Northwood performance in 32-bit. Plus the potential performance gain when you switch to 64-bit.

OK, I'm sorry for mentioning AMD here. It's not my intention to create another "Intel vs AMD" debate here.

Don't you think that Intel's designing strategy has gone wrong ? A newer chips run even slower than the older one. And they have problem to increase the core frequency due to the excessive heat.

2.4A is Northwood. Prescott has an 'E' notation.

Did a quick search and found out that there is 2.4A Prescott. That's indeed confusing because there is a 2.4A Northwood as well.
