Pentium 4 3.0 v 3.06

Just a quick question, is there any difference between the two except for the slight difference in clock speed? I'm thinking there is because they are so close together but I'm not sure. Excuse my noobness, I'm a little new.

Other than the FSB and actual MHz, there is no difference in terms of features. Performance is fairly close in these early benchmarks, as well.

To expand on that... The P4-3.0 has an 800mhz FSB, whereas the P4-3.06 has a 533mhz FSB.

That's what I was looking for, thanks.

3.0 = hypertheading (simulated 2nd processor) 3.06 no HT. Get the 3.0. Mines running at 3.67

Mine too, NO reason to get the 3.06.

I'm thinking on a new 3.0 Ghz Northwood, good choice? (Hoping to oc to 3.4 - 3.6)

Actually the 3.06 has HT, it was the first P4 to have HT.

The 3.06 DOES too have HT. It's the only Northwood 533 fsb chip with it.

Edit: Jim beat me to it
