Will the P4 2.0a work on the Asus P4S533? I'm upgrading in the near future and have no clue what the "a" means, i just noticed thet at was 512k versus the 256k.

The a is the northwood processor and yes the 2.0a will work on the P4S533 but you would be better off using the 1.6a since it will run at 2.1 with no trouble

Thanks for the info and the head up. I think i'm gonna stop overclocking for the moment...it was a lot of fun with my p3v4x but now i just want my computer to be stock with a few tweaks here and there
