that means you have a D0 prescott, which should OC ok, but not great. the E0 are what OC very well, and they are also a bit coole (if you are willing to look at them before buying)

Thanks

Don't plan on OCing, so I should be good for a while.

It also means that you probably have the 14 multi option You will notice a huge performance boost just by running 14*243= 3.4Gig instead of the default 17*200=3.4Gig

Aww, you know you wanna OC that bad boy at least a few mhz. C'mon, where's the geek spirit??

The 3.4 hits 4Ghz pretty easy. Yeah if your board allows 14x multiplyer you can hit 275FSB on stock vcore. You need to OC that puppy!!

My current ram doesn't like running at anything over 200Mhz, its gets pissy.

I'm looking at getting some faster RAM, when I jump to 2GB, but thats a few months off.

Edit - I can't use this 3.4E chip until monday at the earliest. I ordered the CPU, HS, and fan from different vendors to save money. And while I did save about 15 USD, all three parts arrive on different days. The XP-120 HS doesnt' arrive until monday.

Think I can plug the 120mm Panaflo fan into the mobo fan header, or should I use the 4pin molex adapter?
