Thanks for all the responses everyone. My power supply is a generic 400w, not even sure what the brand is. Since I switched to 4x agp and fast writes off everything has been perfectly stable. Still oc'd to 3ghz no issues at all, played doom3 and farcry for a combined 4+ hours and had no...

The prescott has a 1mb cache, so double the other, there is no difference between oem and retail, just with oem you get no retail box and less warranty. The proc would be the same....as to which is better between the 2.4 northwood and the 2.4a prescott....I dunno, prescott has more cache and no...
