1.8a from googlegear, $142.50 shipped, and it has been heard that they have the c1's.

i suggest 2.4B... $160 at googlegear shipped...
i know its $10 more than what you're looking but its well worth it

yah, if you can hook onto one of the C1 1.8a's or a SL6RZ 2.4b you'd be in great shape (assuming you're oc'n of course)
Otherwise, try and catch a p4 on newegg's refurbs...the other day they had quite a few p4's for some excellent prices...and I've ordered a couple of refurb procs from them, nothing wrong with 'em, some even oc pretty well

Look for some in FS/FT forums as well. I sold my 1.8a here and he is running it @ 3.33Ghz

Get the 2.4B if you want 533 MHZ. They are basicly the same chip. They just run at different bus speeds.

definately not. unless you get a 1.8a that is a C1 stepping. which most are not.

the way to guaranteed speed is the 2.4

hey go for the sl6s2...2.53 its about as cheap as you can get and still show max performance many are doing 3.5 plus...i waited a long time for the 2.4;s to get under 200 now they;re 150.00 // i bought my 2.53 for 192...i think they;re in the low 180;s right now..... it;s the best 30 bucks you;ll spend as far as bang for yoiur buck.

got my SL6EF from googlegear and its working pretty good
2.4B @ 3.06 default vcore on Intel HSF
not as good as the SL6RZ's though
but its a good bet ...
hard to find them SL6RZ's unless you have frys close by

I bought my 2.4 SL6EF from Newegg 2 weeks ago and still it sits in the box on my desk. I at the same time ordered PC1066 from Googlegear and it still isn't freaking here yet. So in the mean time i just ordered another DD waterblock for the new P4 once everything comes together.

$162 for the P4 2.4 C1 by the way shipped! Spend the extra few $'s
