Asus P4B Users

what would i be able to overclock more on this motherboard a Celeron 1.8ghz or a P4 1.8ghz A or B their both socket 478

I would go with the p4.
I have a p4 [email protected](153FSB) and a Celeron [email protected](135FSB)
The P4 crunches a WU in 2.5Hr and the Celeron crunches one in 5Hr

**EDIT Oh yea. the celeron 1.8 is based on the OLD P4 (sucks!) NOT the Northwood...

thanks engjohn
so which is better the P4 Northwood or the B version

also which one is more overclockable

I would go with the P4B They have the 533Mhz FSB. I have a P4 2.4B (533FSB = 133FSBx4) it is running at 155FSB 155x4=620FSB!) Also the memory is running at 412Mhz (206x2). This thing is pretty darn fast!

**EDIT** although... if you are getting the 1.8 P4 I would check the database. I think the 1.8P4 (400FSB) is OC'ing quite well..

for example
p41.8 (256k cache 400FSB) Dont waste your time!
P41.8A (512K cache 400FSB) @ 155FSB = 2790
P41.8B (512k cache 533FSB) @ 155FSB = 2092 <--- Is there such a monster???

This in NOT a gaurentee that a P41.8(400) will go that high, just my observations.....

Your right its not a gaurantee, but I use the 1.8A and I've gotten to 2.7Ghz so far stable at 150mhz. I had to switch to the thermalright AX478 to get decent temps though

this board can go past a fsb of 133?

Most boards can overclock, some better than others. I'm not sure what board you have exactly but Asus' are usually pretty good OC'ers
