Folks.
Recently I bought abit sr7-8x p4 2.4 Ghz(533fsb), and now I see another deal
going for $40 more for the same motherboard but this time with P4 2.53 GHz (533 fsb).
So my question is:

Is it worth returning p4 2.4 Ghz (533) and getting p4 2.53 Ghz(533). Will there be
any noticiable performance improvement by increasing cpu clock more by 133 Mhz.

Thanks for you answers.

Welcome to the forums! If you have the extra money to spend, go for the faster CPU. Will you notice the difference? Probably not.

There is so little difference, and you probably have to pay double shipping to return and re-ship. Anyway, just OC it up, and you won;t notice the difference afterwards.
