Fantastic CPU. Prescott 533 478. Couldn't be better than my AMD 2400 mobile XP oc to 2150! This baby did 3350 out of the box w/ stock h/s, Vcore, 3200DDR, really. Running mpeg encodes maybe 15% over the 2.4 AMD. Another wow factor bigtime. Newegg delivers fast. Although the core voltages it lists spec'd out on Intel's pdfs and faqs as a mobile celeron, best I can figure. Cranking this baby for all it's worth on a p4p800-e deluxe. Overall, I'd give it the lots of fun rating
Now since this is the same price as the 2500 Sempron Retail I'm wondering if it might be a better cruncher, at least for FAD. I think I've read that the AMD's FPU gives it a boost in the FAD scores -- has anyone got a Celeron D running FAD and if so what kind of score is it getting (under what O/S)?
Unfortunately that p4p800-e deluxe runs $118. I wonder if this $36 micro refurb. p4p800-mx would allow some limited O/C activity? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-131-504R&depa=1 :scratch:
