Retype that geez. Any how :)

If you wanna do some overclocking look for faster Ram i.e. PC3200 or soo, that will allow you to reach speeds of 400mhz on your fsb..

PC 2100 -266mhz

PC 2700 -333mhz

PC3200- 400 mhz

Hope that helps.

Just so you're aware, you cannot use DDR333 in a P4T-E, or a 3.06GHz Pentium4 either. Time to round up a new motherboard. The logical Pentium4 platform choice for you now is a board based on the i865 or i875 chipset with dual-channel DDR400, or else i850E with PC1066 RDRAM.

hey dont toss that P4T-E just yet, if you happen to have the ICS clock generators on them, the board can still be used for 533FSB cpu's. if thats true, you'll be able to put in a 3.06GHz P4 in there just fine.. only problem though is it wont have Hyperthreading support. AS for the 800FSB cpu's, I dont think you'll be able to use them on that board.
