Let me guess. You have it overclocked to 3200+ speeds.

But then you have tp figure. If you had a 3200+ would you have it overcloaked to a proverbial 3600+ speed? O_O

Even not overclocked it outperforms my dad's P4 2.53Ghz at it's stock speed of 2.08Ghz.

yes thats right, thats the main reason that prescotts are slower than northwoods. Intel extended the pipelines so they could ramp up the clock speeds. But that isnt what this debate was about.

The EE is targeted at gamers. The only difference between the EE and other p4s is its 2mb l3 cache. They have the same pipeline lengths, same fsb speeds, they use the same instructions, same instructions per clock, and they use the same mobo chipsets. Because of the extra cache, the EE is Intels best gaming processor. Thats it. End of story. No more arguing.

Best intel gaming processor.

I'd put my money on athlon X in 64bit mode myself.

I know. Athlon's are the best at the moment. Not including the latest and greatest apple processor which I've heard is very fast. TO bad you can't use them on an AT system. :mad:

I would love to see a benchmark of it vs athlon 64.

yes the best overall gaming processor is the a64 fx-53. Im getting the p4 3.4 EE instead because then I dont have to buy a new mobo or memory. The fX line of processors require memory with error correction, which is hella expensive.

Yes ECC is expensive but with something as fast as it you would be pushing systems speeds. If my system supportred ECC I would use it. Cut back on system errors.

But I'm sure you could find a athlon 64 fx mobo that doesn't require ecc if youlooked hard enough.

Just spend a couple bucks and get a watercooling sytem .Then your slower p4's and older video cards can compete a little longer .

I can already run my 2.4c at 3.4 on air;) 3.6 for benchmarks.

The new 939 pin mobos do not require ecc ram

Did they even make 2.8s at 400FSB? I thought the last line of 400FSB was 2.6?

This is late in the thread.. but the last 400 mhz FSB chip was the 2.4a.. after that, the 2.4b was 533, so on and so forth.

There is a P4 2.6A in the RTCW Beach server

Please, please just dont make any more posts.

Ahh, yes, you're right. A bit of research shows the 2.6a was the last

Good man.

Hmm. I need that CPU for my brother's 400FSB Dell.
