Is this a good deal? Would that pup work in my 865 and/or 875 chipset?

I'll pull the trigger if the consensus is yes.

Yup, it should work in a 865/875 mobo.. <i>might</i> need a BIOS update, but probably not.

Personally I'd pay the extra $4 for the northwood 3.0C chip, just because it runs cooler so comes with a noticeably quieter Fan, plus of course will lead to lower case temperatures...

Well, Actually I'd buy the 2.6 or 2.8 and overclock it, but that's just me ... But given the choice between the 3.0E and 3.0C I'd take the C.

If you already have an 865/875 mobo, what chip are you running now? Upgrading from any of the P4c chips would not yield much.

You think? Wonder what A64 chips you can get at around $200.

I know you are stuck with Intel, too bad, get the P4c. My post was directed to phial. The A64 3200+ is $208. I would sell the board, and get that instead, but I already have.

 

[phial]

yea good point.. that 2800+ would o/c to 2.2ghz probably as well. if not more, if you shopped around for a good stepping
