Which Thunderbird for overclocking? 800 or 900?

[Duke79]

I am planning on purchasing a socket A Thunderbird. Is there a major difference in overclocking potential between the 800 and 900 Thunderbird to justify the extra cost?

considering there is a small chance niteher will overclock at all, the 900 will get you 100mhz more🙂

I'd go for the 900 tbird & maybe you'll get lucky 🙂

900mhz will guarantee that you'll end up with a possibly higher clock speed, but a 800 is also capable of doing what the 900 is capable of...just depends on your luck. i'm able to overclock my tbird800 to about 900 mhz using fsb alone, and think about the result when i use the multipliers adjustment.
