Intel P4 2.4C, P4P800 board and 3200 DDR ram.
Over 3GHz out of the box :D

Thanks.
The following was ripped from an [H]OCP review late last night.
Here's a review of this processor at http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NDcx
Processor:
In the Intel camp, the current price/performance king is definitely the Pentium 4 2.4c CPU. The 2.4c processor comes standard with HyperThreading support as well as an 800 MHz FSB. The one downside of Intel CPUs compared to the AthlonXPs, is the fact that it is multiplier locked at a "12" setting. This means that you can only alter the Front Side Bus when overclocking this CPU. However, this is actually less of a hindrance than you would think due to the massive core clock potential of this CPU.
The overclockability of the 2.4c mirrors that of the other great Intel overclocker, the Celeron 300a. Given the fact that most P4s can overclock to a minimum of 3.0 GHz with the retail HSF unit and with little more than default voltage, that 12x multiplier becomes critical. When coupled with an FSB of 250 MHz, the CPU's clock speed is a mere 3.0 GHz. When used with the proper motherboard, memory, and HSF combination, a 3.6 GHz overclock with a 300 MHz FSB can certainly be a possibility and one that we have experienced firsthand more than once.
