[wanted] Pentium 4 3GHz HT EE (Extreme Edition) Socket 478

What more could I say? I want to upgrade my CPU! Everything in the title is important, the socket 478, the EXTREME EDITION can be 3.2 or 3.4! I might consider a P4 3.4 HT with 1MB cache if I can't get an Extreme Edition!

Hi There,

Im not quite sure if u actually get an Extreme Edition in 478. They first Extreme Edition I saw were an LGA775 with 800 and/or 1066MHz FSB.

I would suggest if you go and buy urself an Extreme edition, replace ur m/board with something like an Intel D955XBK or bigger. I use the 955XBK and its a B R I L L I A N T motherboard! U will only get better performance using the correct hardware with the Extreme Edition.

As far as Im concerned, there' is not a 478 motherboard with the Extreme Edition's needs.

I might be wrong, but that is what my research is concerned.

Get a Core2Duo E6600. It outpreforms all extreme processors. (bar then E6670 & E6800)

Hi, I'm not interested in Core2Duo thanks, that would mean a complete upgrade! My machine is heavily modified and overclocked with extra cooling! I'm ONLY interested in the Extreme; mainly because when they came out I couldn't afford them and I've always wanted to take it to 4GHz! I have a socket 478 mobo that takes the 3.2 & 3.4 EE (if I can get a 3.4 EE, I believe I'll reach 4GHz)! I have an overclocked 2.6 which is now 3.1GHz, overclocked RAM and overclocked AGP GPU (which is running close to a 7800GT PCI-Express). My system is 100% stable, 3 years old and it runs every game I've tried at maximum res/quality 1600x1200 perfectly!

Anyway, get me a EE and I'll give a stock Core2Due a run for it's money! Bessides, price/performance, my PC kicks ASS!

[This is mostly a matter of getting the most bang for buck and pride!!!]

I might consider a P4 3.4 HT with 1MB cache if I can't get an Extreme Edition!

Intel has two 3.4GHz cpu's available in a 478 package. 512kb and 1Mb L2 cache.
The Extreme is 512kb...

On both processors the reccommended MOBO chipset is either i865 or i875.
The others are all LGA775 packages.
Good luck in your quest!

I think there was only P4EE 3.2GHz has 2MB L3 cache in s478.
