Hmm... just going through last minute thought processes before ordering my new rig.
Looks as if springale will be here in mid May.. i dont really want to wait but given that it will support forthcoming prescotts as well as 800fsb P4's im having second thoughts about ordering the 8INXP
A few questions:
-Will a 800fsb 3ghz P4 running on a springdale board be much faster than a 3ghz P4 on a 8INXP ?
-Are there any other features on the springdale that'll be worth having ?
-Will the springdale setup overclock well.. maybe the P4+8INXP will actually achieve a higher clock speed ??
I think my overall plan is to upgrade to skip prescott and upgarde to Tejas >5ghz with >1000 FSB and DDR2 in 2004/2005 so in a way i dont really need prescott compatability. Maybe i should just buy now otherwise ill be waiting for ever for whats just aroudn teh next corner.
