JD just picked up a 2.4C with the new MO stepping and is currently running @ 301fsb on default vcore. Look for the new MO stepping and you can't go wrong.
Got to get me one of those myself.

306 my freind. the 2.4 is better, it will have a higher quad pumped fsb than the 2.6, and the 2.4 will clock higher. unless you have supercooling, the 2.4c is the best buy out of all the chips. clock for clock, it will be faster than any of the other 800 bus chip.texasfit said:JD just picked up a 2.4C with the new MO stepping and is currently running @ 301fsb on default vcore.

I would go with the 2.6c
A lot of people will tell you the 2.4c because that is the most famous overclocker, but the 2.6c is better. It is only $5 more on newegg and you start out with 200 mhz more stock! I got mine up to 3.6 ghz, and you don't see many people getting that with the 2.4c. (I've since clocked it down a little so I wouldn't have to pump so much voltage).

For hardcore overclockers, the 2.4C SL6Z3 is a good choice. But, with PC3500 RAM using CH-5 chips, the 2.6C might be a better choice. The CH-5 RAM don't like the super high FSB as much as BH-5 does. Also, I think the Asus P4C800 is a little more tolerant of RAM with CH-5 chips (even though I personally prefer Abit).
