Which CPU is better the 2.4GHZ

[dvdman3]

Regular, 400/533 or the 800MHZ FSB version. Which one is best for overclocking some .. at least 100-200 mhz is fine for now.

800 for Hyperthreading and good overclocking you want to get the 2.4C, the 533 are no sloutch either if you want to save money and not worry about the Hyperthreading.

not necessarily...

i'm sure THUGSROOK will argue with you on this one...

a lot of the 2.4b's and 2.53b's he's been testing out these days are hitting 3.4+ ghz

the only benefit of the 2.4C lets say is the extra bandwidth you'll be able to get by running a fsb of 285 but of course you'll have to use the 5:4 divider unless you got some nice pc4000 or pc4200 ram that'll let you do 285 1:1 (maybe some A-data ram?)
