    Hey guys (an gals), I need a good cooler for an Intel P4 3.0. I have a Dr Thermal Extreme, 20gig WD HD, a Vantec CCK-6012 and various other things to trade.

    Ok, one last input. I dont want to get something that I have to monster overclock just to "match" something that DONT have to overclock. I do upgrades once, MAYBE twice every couple of years. So I need something that will not only do what I need it to do, but also last a two year cycle before it...

    As far as cooling, i'm using a Dr Thermal extreme with a Delta pushin 68 cfm, with AS 3. The temps have stayed under 50 C. This is my third CPU this week, i bought another 2500 on Monday, not impressed, went with a 3200, VERY not impressed, went back with the 2500. The 3200 would hit 215 FSB but...

    I have tried to overclock this chip and the highest i can do is 11x184=2024, anything higher and it would LOCK up, the frequency is locked. My memory is Kingston HyperX 2x512 in dual channel mode. As far as what kinda deal it is, I can get the 3.0 with either an Asus P4P800 Deluxe or a Gigabyte...

    thanks Sylvanas. What I am lookin for is input from someone that has used both, or atleast tried both lol. As far as AMD for games and Intel for encoding, wouldnt the 3.0 with that much power blow the amd outta the water? I'm sorry if it sounds like i'm ignorant in this, but I guess in a way I...

    Ok guys, I really need honest input here. I have a friend that owns a 'puter shop an I can pick up a P-3.0 with either an Asus or Gigabyte mobo. My current rig is an AMD 2500 Barton with an A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo. Will this P-3 blow my current rig away or are they close? I'm not real familiar with...

    I would assume, and from what i have seen, the revision 1.XX would work if your not wanting the 400 fsb. Just my two cents worth. good luck
