P4 3.4EE Gallatin Core Socket 775?

[DBZ33]

Ok I just got my Asus P5WD2 motherboard, P4 630 Cpu, and 2GB of Ballistixs PC2-6400. I overclocked it to 3.7Ghz 14 X 266. I have a chance to get a 3.4EE Gallatin Core for a really good price. Do you think it would be worth it to upgrade to that chip? I will only want to run it to 3.6 -3.8GHz.

I am only going to keep this system for about 6mo. I upgrade all the time. This cpu just sounds great. As long as it runs as fast as this chip or a little faster, I will be happy.

Go for it.:thumbsup:

If you want to get it for the tweaking, go for it. Otherwise, the performance boost wouldnt be worth paying for.

If both were at 3.7 -3.8GHz would the 3.4EE be as fast or faster? I just don't want to downgrade. Thanks.

The FSB doesnt benefit the single core P4 at all, though.

how much for the chip???

The 3.4EE is 800FSB. But at 14 X 266 would they perform about the same? I am going to get the CPU for $270.00. I purchsed the 630 for 180.00 from Newegg.

You won't notice a lick of difference if both chips are running at 3.7
