2.4C Processor 533 FSB or 800 FSB?

[hotarri]

I thought that all P4s with a C in the name were 800Mhz FSB, I just bought a chip advertised as 533Mhz but the label says 2.4C. Is it infact a 800Mhz FSB processor?

I see nothing on Intel's site that mentions a 533 fsb 2.4C cpu. I think you made out, my friend.

Try looking up your sSpec # here.

Thanks, good to hear I'll check out the site when I get home and can look at the processor. Gotta love Fry's employees and their mistakes, last time I bought some memory they gave me the 1 gig instead of the 512.

That is why we need a Frys in New York!

If you bought the CPU as part of a MB/CPU combo then they always give you the next best thing (within reason) if they run out. I have never gotten a better CPU like you but I have gotten the retail version many times when they ran out of oem. I have also been able to upgrade the mb in a couple of combos.
