Anyone running a 3.4 478 pin on an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe? The manual and web
site say 3.2+. Currently have a 2.8 HT and was thinking of bumping it to
either a 3.2 or 3.4. Thouhgts?

Even if it works it will be a waste of money really as it is only a slight
improvement, why not just overclock a little.

Hi

I have an Intel 3.4e proc that works fine...

NBK

If you were to "upgrade" to the 3.4 GHz you would only increase the speed of
your system by 18%. This is NOT an observable difference for all intents
and purposes.

I am running my 2.8 Gig Northwood at 3.1 anyway and it runs fine and costs
nothing.

i think u must refresh your BIOS to the newest version at first , for
the new CPU ID~

Went from 3.06 HT 533 FSB to 3.2E 800 FSB and am happy
with the upgrade. Remember if you go with the Prescott it has
1 meg L2 cache and better HT than your 2.8 so I believe you
will benefit. Is the benefit worth the $$ ? was here, doin video editng
it was a nice boost :-)

18% is awesome...! but not at a ridiculous price point. How does a
ratio of $20 per % increase sound...? The northwood may already be
able to come very close to that speed without any major investment, as
the P4-3.4's are still pretty expensive...I think the price/percentage
ration is still too much for not enough...

3.4's are still high but 3.2E's are cheap and it WOULD be worth it
IF he does alot of highend video editing plus the Prescotts deeper
pipeline will be and advantage as programs get written to take
advantage of it.

Why are people in general so zealous about talking others out of
upgrading? Maybe they don't want you to have a faster system than theirs?
