What is the difference between P4 1.8 and P4 1.8A? I saw this on www.newegg.com. Does anyone know the difference between this two models? Or where can I find the difference on intel's website?

Linux!

there are actually 3 types of p4 1.8

P4 1.8 socket 423, 256k L2 cache, 0.18micron core = dont get this one!

P4 1.8 socket 478, 256k L2 cache, 0.18micron core = better, but still not as good as

P4 1.8A 'northwood' socket 478, 512k l2 Cache, 0.13 micron core = best. has twice the amount of L2 cache, runs cooler at a lower voltge, and is highly overclockable :)

Overclocked athlon 1200C @ 8.5 x 166FSB + PC2700 = GOOD! :smile:

dont you start!
i really dont care.
this thread IS NOT an P4 vs XP thread

the northwood 1.8 can easily get up to 2.4Ghz without too much effort.
thats 600mhz.
thus its highly overclockable.

performance comparison with XP... who cares?

600Mhz without too much effort!

i want a proof!
Labdog, this is common knowledge that the Northwood is an excellent overclocker. Please don't start this.

everyone is sick of the trolls and flames etc .. big waste of time .. if ya gotta "root" find a good sports team and someone that gives a sh*t...to each his own .. we all have differing reasons for the choices we make .. it's your (and my) money so spend it like ya want and be happy ..

i started looking for a northwood overclock link, but i couldnt be bothered.
we all know that they can do it.
