1.8A, 2.0A, or which northwood to get? Will the 2.0A give me a minimum overclock to 2660MHz(133MHz FSB overclok)? What about 1.8A, what will it hit overclock wise?

I have had a friends 2.4@3.2ghz in this setup so I know I dont have any system limitations preventing me from acheivng my overclocking goal. I have $170 max budget to spend and am upgrading this rig:

P4 1700MHz@2006MHz
512MB Micron PC2100
Gigabyte 8SR533P
GeForce 3 Ti 500
8860 3DMarkz

Any Help would be greatly appreciated!
 
You could check www.overclockers.com 's Data base.
It is all depend on your luck really.
I have 1.6A running 2.4Ghz@1.6V only. My limitation might be my Samsung PC2100 RAM (currently running 150FSB, which I shouldn't be complaining anyway)

I doubt you will notice any different between your 2.0 vs "possible" 2.6Ghz. (you will still be inside of the 2Ghz club 😉 )

If you got the buying-itch, check out the Radeon 9500 and mod it into 9700.
That will definitely move you over 12000 mark. (my 8500 LE@ 290/290 scoring 10012)
 
im too wussy to go messing with my hardware like that 🙁
So I guess ill go with the pro and overclock it (if i cant ill use warp11's bios) Thanks!
