What does C mean in 2.4CGHz for P4?

[paulbearer]

I'm sure it's a dumb question, but what does the C stand for in the P4 speed designation?

Newegg.com carries both a 2.4CGHz P4 and a 2.4GHz P4. Is one the OEM vs. the retail box?

The C stands for chips that have 800fsb as well as Hyper Threading. You want a C series chip over any of the other p4's, much faster and overclockable chips.

Ah OK - so C kinda stands for 3rd generation or something like that?

Yea you could say that, 400fsb are 'A' chips, 533fsb are 'B' chips, and 800fsb are 'C' chips. And remember! There are no dumb questions, if you get flamed here in the forums, those mean people suck. We all gotta start somewhere right?
