2.4 or 2.6?

Which would you guys get? P4 2.4C or 2.6C?

Considering the 2.4C costs either more or the same as the 2.6C now, id say 2.6C. Although i guess if you are overclocking u might favour the 2.4c as the multiplyer is set to a more favourable value....

I was faced with a simular situation just before christmas, just get the 2.6c :)

yah, ill be overclocking it as soon as it gets to the house.

Most likley want the 2.4C then, if you can still find it.

But id get nither and wait for the Prescott's to arrive in about a week.... the 2.8Ghz prescott is selling for the same prices as i paid for the 2.6C Northwood - It might perform like a dog compared to the same speed northwood but it should offer greater overclocking potential so a greater speed in general.

[kraigc]

the prescotts are supposed to be under $200?

[RobHague]

Well here on OcUK.co.uk its....

2.6 Northwood - £126
2.4 Northwood - £128

2.8 Northwood - £149
2.8 Prescott - £153

Those prices have changed though, last week they were a pretty much equal or less than the northwoods.... hmmm.

Oh btw look out for the SL6Z3 Stepping 2.4C, its the most saught after for overclocking. :)

Prices (according to Digit-Life) are suspected to change to that range in February, so I would wait till then to invest in a P4C to be honest. :)

Peace,
