Lower speed Northwoods

[obeseotron]

I'm thinking of getting a P4 1.6 or 1.8Ghz Northwood P4. What should I expect in terms of overclocking. Is it possible to do an easy overclock to 133Mhz FSB like it was on the Coppermine 700e for instance? Overclocking a 1.8Ghz P4 to 2.4Ghz is very attractive. What have people been able to achieve with these new chips?

yes, it is easy to do. But the 1.6a is easier to overclock to 133 fsb than the 1.8a part.

Yes it is very easy, my 1.6a does 133fsb at default voltage,it reminds me of the old Celeron 300a days.
