dual core Intel have now become very affordable!

so guys just to clarify
theyre saying you can OC a 2.6 pentium D to 3.8Ghz...thats an overclock of 1.2Ghz, does that mean you can overclock say a pentium D840 ( 3.2 Ghz to 4.4 ? ( a 1.2Ghz increase), and even clock the new 3.6 pentium D to over 4.8Ghz?? of course these are like ballpark figures... or does it just not work like that ?
is it such that all pentium Ds are the same ( within the same nm and core etc, say all the 800's) except when theyre about to leap off the production line intel says... right chippy, your a 3.2, wel charge a lot for you... okay your a 2.8 wel charge less for you than your brother !
or is it a totaly different chip ?

Thanks

Its a different chips it has a slower fsb of 533mhz.

TBH i cant see one of these being clocked to 3.8ghz on air after all the 65nm 900 seires that run cooler maybe but not the 805.

I may be wrong though but the 90nm chips run quite hot.
 
just because they run warm doesnt mean they dont clock....

and while were on the subject they will do 3.8 i think - time will tell

and intels 65mn gear is heading towards the 5ghz rarther than 4
 
well i hope they will be as good as i heard they will be :rolleyes: , cuz frankly, if it makes amd's chips any cheaper i'l settle for one of those instead.

I'm not saying they will not clock.I'm saying that 3.8ghz on air might be pushing it.

I hope 3.8ghz will be achieveable for such a low cost chip but on air I can't see it running at that speed 24/7 IMO :)
 
They certainly do, the last 4 Intels I have had have all gone past 4ghz on air.

Celeron D 478 2.6 went to 4ghz
Pentium 4 478 3.0 EO went to 4.1ghz
Pentium 4 775 3.6 went to 4.3ghz
And my present Celeron D 3.06 is at 4.1ghz and hopefully more when I get my TTBT on it.
 
If it wasnt for the fact that there isnt a mobo out, afaik, that'll do that Intel DC, with normal DDR memory, i'd get one.
For the same price as going A64 DC, i could get a Intel DC & a new mobo! :p
 
theres already been 2 mentioned on this thread mate, and theres quite a few more

p5p800se (good ocer allows multi change in bios)
asrock esata twins?

Not sure on the Asrock, but the Asus is a AGP board.
And the asrock board only has 2xDDR. I need 4.

so you want ddr but pci-e with dc support?

gimmie 5

edit

i dount it clocks well but should be ok....

tbh the jump to ddr2 is imo worth it, even if its just so you can go 845/55/75

I have had that Asrock mobo and it has good and bad points, good points being able to take ddr + ddr2 and also having component out, it also runs most of the intel chips.

Bad points being when they say limited overclocking they mean no voltage options for the cpu :( , still took my 3ghz Celeron D to 4.1ghz though, but if that dual core wants some volts it wont get them from that asrock board, I sent it back and swapped it for a AA8XE.

I have the asrock board with the d805 fitted good board for the money yes it has no volt control but it has overclocked the cpu to a stable 3535mhz it needs more volts after that but not bad still runs coolish idle 36.c under load 47.c not to bad. if you are going for this board get version 2 it surports the conroe.
