you definately do not want to do this to a willo p4.:( you will prolly fry it if you do. with the willo, you already have the highest the v core will go set in the bios, but people do this to the nortys because the v core is set much lower on them, and higher v core is needed to acheive higher speeds. i repeat do not do this to a willo.

anyways, not downing you or anything, but why did you buy the willo, reading here, you can see that almost everyone has a northwood, well if they have a p4, cause they are just better, more overclockable chips. i definately think that intel has amd's number as far as performance. yes, the amd chips do perform, but they are more subject to lock-ups, run hotter, and need to be unlocked. the intel northwoods have locked multipliers, but you can really run these chips with the right cooling, at incrediable speeds. p4, all day, everyday.:D

I'm getting rid of my Wilma in a few days I only got it because I paid $181 when they were around $500. With a little luck I'll get what I paid for it.

Can't wait to get a Northwood:clap:

I went for a P-4 because its the easiest and most stable way to 1.9 GHZ. in a hurry. So do they overclock much at all..I don't really want to push it, maybe to just 2.0 GHZ ..Are they very overclockable..I know Norwood thier not..Any good articles on them? But I'm Intel all the way, they seem more durable..

Just a little correction: AMD's do not NEED to be unlocked. They will overclock just fine by fsb without it.
