Finally - 3gig ++ P4 2.8

[LouPoir]

After many attempts with 2.2a, 2.4a, 2.4b and 2.53b, I took the $$ plunge and got a great deal on a P4 2.8 on eBay.

And its running now at 3.3gig 1.60 vCore. And it is fast.

:Q:Q:Q:Q Good lord...3.3. What mobo/memory you using? Specs please. Oh yea, and some benchies as SCK asked.

There is no such thing as a deal on 2.8s, LOL! J/K.

NICE! Do you think that perhaps your motherboard might have been the culprit in the other o/c's.

 

[LouPoir]

Same exact setup on all processors. This 2.8 overclocks well.

No kidding. Kind of makes our rigs look like weaklings now, doesn't it drsignguy? Oh, how quickly technology advances...

I can't wait until the "older" chips (1.8A-2.26B) get the new C1 stepping.

 

[Yeti101]

Any idea when that will happen..... Get the new steppings that is. I was thinking of getting a 2.53 or a 2.26b any week now, and questioning if I should wait for the new seppings. Thanks
