Hi, my current system is a socket 478 P4 Northwood 3.2 running @ 3.5. It's an engineering sample with an unlocked multiplier, but I'm not brave enough to use more than 1.65v to push it past 3.5Ghz. My mobo is an Asus P4GPL-X which supports the CT-479 adapter for Pentium M. I would like to hear any thoughts on whether it is worthwhile moving to a Dothan 750 (1.86Ghz) with a view to running at least 2.4Ghz (I've a funny feeling my mobo doesn't allow voltage adjustments on the CT-479). I use my system mainly for games with a 7800GT. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies guys.
@JudgeC I've not seen many other people with the same mobo! I've a few more questions, hope you don't mind. Were you able to change the vcore in the BIOS or is the Hipro5 mod some sort of volt mod for the adaptor? (I'm pretty useless once a soldering iron is required). Am I right in thinking downward adjustments of the clock multiplier are possible in the BIOS? Finally, for cooling, I see most of the screw-on Zalman's do the job - any idea if the Arctic Freezer 4 will fit without trouble? Thanks in advance
