I need your help to choise a CPU, i want to overclock it but i don´t know which i can get to the highest speed.

Which is the cpu that can go fastest after overclocking it, P4 2,26B or 2,4B ?

Go with the new 2.5ghz(not the 2.53 ghz) It'll get you around or above 3ghz. Of the 2 you listed go with the 2.26. But if you can spend the little extra cash go for the 2.5ghz, which is 25 x 100mhz so it has plenty of head room for overclocking.

Umm.. why 2.5 over 2.53?

P4 2.5 @ 3GHz = 480MHz FSB
P4 2.53 @ 3GHz = 608MHz FSB

Gee, I wonder which would be faster!

The best choice is still the 2.26, which if overclocked to 3GHz will have a FSB of 708MHz.

As well all know, higher FSB = better performance.
