I bought this off of here for my pc and I was just wondering what it could do. I've never had an Intel system always AMD. LMK Thanks to those that reply.

Well, it's a 3.06GHz P4 as you could imagine, and does have HyperThreading. You could put it to good use in a Distributed Computing app like Folding@Home.
As far as system components, I'd get an Abit IS7 and some PC3200 RAM and a decent heatsink and overclock it.

It should rock the house, if you can find a motherboard to keep up with it. Since it is a mobile chip, it will probably default to a 12x multiplier on a desktop board, not 23x as it normally does. It is rated at 3066mhz at a default voltage of 1.3v w/ a D1 core.
At normal voltage levels for P4 desktops (1.5v) I would guess to expect 3.3ghz as a min overclock which would require a 275 fsb. So be sure to select good components, as it is going to require a 255fsb to even run at its rated speed. Any overclocking is just going to require a faster bus and boards that will run at 300mhz+ are already running 50% over the design requirements. I would venture to guess you have a high probability that the chip is capable of 3.6ghz, but the board will be running at 300fsb, so the board you select may actually limit your overclock.

Yeah, I'm after one myself. I have an Abit AI7 that I'm currently running with a mobile P4M 1.6. It's chugging away at 12x221 for 2650. Bought it to build a cheap cool and quite living room comp, but the AI7 wont volt down to the 1.3v the chip is rated for. I'm searching for a modified bios that will allow such a thing as I know the AI7 is capable of 1.4v with a Prescott.
Hmm, whats the best RAM to get for this? I've always been an AMD fan boy, so I really have no clue on how to OC an Intel. With all this quad pumped and this and that, what the hell would the actual number show up as in the bios??
If you already have some DDR, keep it for the time being for testing. I would say your motherboard is going to be the hardest component to find.
My AI7, I feel gives up somewhere around 280-290 fsb w/ my 2.4c. I also have an IC7-G that I have booted the P4 2.4c into windows and stress tested for a while at 307 fsb. That was unstable however so I'm not quite sure if the motherboard is stable at 300mhz, as I know the P4 2.4C is not stable at those speeds.
Once you select a motherboard, there are a few differing thoughts on DDR. You don't need to worry so much about running in synch with the fsb as you do with the AMD XP cpus. There are usually 1:1, 5:4, 3:2 ratios to run in the bios.
Assume you find a motherboard that runs at 300mhz and the cpu is stable at 3.6ghz. You could run the DDR at:
1:1 ratio - DDR would be at 300mhz - very unlikely
5:4 ratio - DDR would be at 240mhz - some (OCZ gold?) PC3700 will run tight timings here, but most PC4000 is loose cas 3 timings. If you can find them, some BH5 DDR will do cas 2 if you slap it with alot of voltage. Also some newer samsung chipped Corsair Ballistix will run tight here similar to BH5, but pretty expensive.
3:2 ratio - DDR would be at 200mhz - any PC3200 will do, but you should look for cas 2 stuff here.
Overall, it seems that 1:1 memory at cas3 performs about the same as 5:4 memory at cas2, so it's not nearly as critical as an AMD system. Once you select a motherboard and test the limits of the cpu at a 3:2 ratio, select your ram based on which DDR speed falls in your performance budget.

Actually, I was going to put this in a SFF pc for my kids. The only thing you can adjust is the FSB in the bios. There are no options for vcore, etc. The only thing I could do is the pin trick if needed for the vcore. The mobo runs @ 533/400 FSB. Let me know what I would need to do to get the max out of this chip. The chip defaults at 133X12 I think. The FSB adjustments go up to 250 max.
if you want to get the full use out of it get a mobo that can do 300 fsb and some of that geil 2-2-2-5 ram that anand just reviewed that can get up to ddr 600 that would be one hell of a comp with the proc at 3.6, ram at 600 1:1. if you want to do sff just get the best overclocking mobo you can and see what you can do
