I'm about to build a decently futureproof system, but have a couple of questions regarding overclocking the new P4's with the 533MHz FSB.
The multiplier on P4's is locked, so people having been overclocking their Northwood A series chips by raising the FSB to 533.
If I buy a new P4 2.26B (533), and it already runs at 533FSB, can I still speed the little bugger up?
Here's my bits'n'bobs on order:
EPoX 4G4A+
P4 2.26B (533FSB)
Corsair 512Mb PC-3000 XMS
Leadtek Ti4200
400W PSU
Plenty of flexibility with the RAM, mobo and power areas, but am a bit concerned that I won't be able to crank any more out of her when I start to get bored in 6 months time.
Any suggestions or constructive criticism welcome.
Regs, Brettly.
