Ok i have gotten some jobs putting computers together, and i am going to have some money to buy a new proccessor and some high preformance memory (2 sticks this time for DDR rates) along with the parts for some improved case cooling but no questions about that.
now I'll ask my proccesor question first, there are a number of Pentuims on the market that would be suitable for me, i have a 2.4ghz celeron and that needs to change so i can make use of the DDR400 efectively with an 800mhz FBS, now the 2.6 ghx P4 is what i'm going for HT 800mhz FSB and everything, but a new P4 the "extreme edition" is coming out whitch is basicaly a Xeon in P4 form with realy big cashe l3 of a mb i think but i hear is wil be expensive. And also the new "Presscot" proccessor whitch is first coming in in the 478 pin and my MB should suport it as it is one of the correct chipsets it wil be a 2.8 ghz or a 3.2 as first and the 2.8 is suposed to be 260 or so, just over the 2.6 P4, so what should i do?
And for the memory shoul di go for DDR400 cl2 Kingston hyper X? it has the best Latencies of OCZ and Corsair along with a lifetime waranty, or shoudl i go with the DDR500 and oc my proccessor a bit but those moduals only come in CL3 (here i go with the Kingsont hyper x also) i'll be geting a pair of 512's for a GB if that even realy matters
