I have been thinking about getting a new processor to tide me over till I get my athlon +2800 and nforce2 board. Should I go with the 2.5 400mhz bus or maybe the 2.26 533 mhz bus, which ones would overclock better? Also (this may **** off some uptight people) but I was thinking if I bought a new processor couldn't I just reomove the heat spreader with a razor blade and switch it with my old one then reattach with thermal adhesive and get my money back, baam new processor free!?
 
If I were you I'd definately go for a new C1 stepping P4. There's a good chance to reach around 3-3.1GHz with these CPUs...

nice idea! you may be lucky and get away with it...!
Go for the 2.50 400FSB C1 or 2.60/2.66 if you can afford it!
