After two years of waiting... I finally gave in
Specs:

2.4C
Corsiar TwinX [PC 3200LL (2x256)]
Radeon 9800 Pro (256 meg 😉)
Western Digital 40 gig / 8 meg cache buffer HD
Asus P4P800


Everything should be here by Wednesday (Hopefully no operator errors, this is my first Intel system, and second system total) 😛 , I'll build it and get becnhies ASAP. 😀
 
Don't you feel good about yourself when you order the parts you always wanted? It is pure evil I say! Then when you get the parts in its pretty packaging you go ape shite, I love it.
 
hahaha your 9800pro 256mb costs more than your mobo, ram n cpu all together!

Edit: i'm not making fun of you, just that your video card cost a lot of money.... a lot of money for A video card.
 
Wow, you went all out, 256mb radeon 9800 and Corsair XMS LL🙂. Personally I would gotten a Radeon 9800 NP and Crucial PC3200, but thats just my opinion😀. Hopefully you don't recieve a dud 2.4C that doesn't overclock past 2.7 like some peeps have recieved.


goodluck!🙂
 
Go ahead, make fun of me!
I make fun of myself! 😛 What kind of retard would buy a 9800 Pro 256 meg... $488 bucks! You see? 😛

I made sure I got a retail 2.4C (HardOCP claimed that only the OEMs were getting affected)... I sure hope I don't get a dud, would be a bummer. 🙁

This just in: CPU / Memery will arive monday 😀

 
I just ordered the same parts, except Raddy 9600 Pro, and an Intel mobo, as well as 80GB HDD instead...

Yup Regs, I went insanely crazy when the boxes came in. I was staring at the boxes for like 20 minutes, lol.
 
CPU got here yesterday morning, but was busy since then. 😀
Specs:
Prod Code: ***SL6WF
Batch: 3318A035
Pack date: 6/05/03

Tell me I got a good one 🙂

keep my posted on that CPU. I have almost the same retail chip:
Prod code: ******** SL6WF
Batch: 3318A028
Pack Date: 6/6/03

My chip is a slightly older batch but was packed one day after yours. i can hit 250 FSB w/ this chip (3.00 Ghz) @ 1.5750v (1.550v actual). It wont do 260FSB at 1.650v (didnt try any higher since i wont be running a P4 higher than 1.65v).
I am using Abit IC7 and Thermalright SLK900U hs. For memory, i am using 2x 512mb Twinmos PC 3700 chips (tested, they work upto DDR 466).

I have already ordered a RMA for this chip, so this chip is going back and i am getting a new one on the way....hopefully, that will be better than this but who knows.....
Your chip is a "Costa Rica". It seems like the "Malaysian" chips are getting a good overclock but again....each chip is different.

Good luck and keep my posted on the chip.

How are you RMAing this chip? It doesn't seem broken to me ...
 
I believe he's restocking it with the organisation he bought it from... Like googlegear, you can pay 15% of the purchase price and get a new one (Or so I think).

Hopefully the myth of Mayla chips being better OCers is, well a myth. 😀
I still need my MotherBoard, Graphics card, HD and DVD-Rom

Good luck and keep my posted on the chip.

(This is stolen from a stickie at OCforums)

"Since there are many new member here in these forums....that cannot really "translate" the fpo\batch of their cpu....here follows a small guide....

1st letter or digit=plant code
0=San Jose,Costa Rica
3=..............,Costa Rica
1=Cavite,Philippines
R=Manila,Philippines
7=..........,Philippines
9=Penang,Malaysia
Q=...........,Malaysia
L=............,Malaysia
8=Leixlip,Ireland
Y=Leixlip,Ireland
6=Chandler,Arizona

Example:L149A463-0726

L=plant (Malay)

2nd digit=Year of production (2001)

3rd & 4th digits=week (49th week )

(A463)=some kind of traceability number

(0726)=Serialization code"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



So your batch # of "3318A147" means you have a Costa Rica CPU from the 18th week of 2003.

(BTW - I have the exact same "3318", 6-5-03 pack date 2.4C as you. I got mine from Staples on the $144 deal)

Kevman did you get your system put together yet? If so how did your CPU overclock? I have the same 2.4C as you do.

parts arrived at home today, ( I'm still at work) but I might be holding off cuz I got hyper x pc3000 memory. I think I'm going to go for PC3200 or PC3500 memory. not sure which one yet. I'll post results once I get her up and running.
