a friend of mine told me it has a NORTHWOOD core socket 478, but dont see any, i dont know if it does exist.
 
3.4C is a northwood. The 3.4 is clock speed (duh :P) and the letter is the core version. C = Northwood Core with 800MHz BUS + HyperThreading
 
have any idea where i can get one, they say that this is hard to find, and i think its true or im just looking at the wrong place. :)
 
should'nt it be sold cheap coz they dont make it anymore, whats so special about this 3.4ghz northwood anyway?:rolleyes:
 
you mean by OC it, wow! so if i have a 3.4ghz, it can go up to 4ghz, right? well, i think i'l start with the basic....building my PC, i already have a choice of MOBO(P4C800E DELUXE) and now im hunting for a good CPU. thanks:)

lol...slowdown. to hit 4GHz u need some serious cooling, and a pretty good mobo/RAM. the 3.4C's don't overclock as easily as the lower 2.6C's do in comparison. I've seen 4GHz...but it took more than water and some mods. the higher Northwood chips are already pretty stressed running at 3.4 or w/e u buy, so there overclocking headroom is somewhat smaller. but it is possible...
 
What is it? 3.4C?

Granted the lower 'C's have better OCs, theres not a chance most 2.6s are gonna hit 4Ghz. 3.4Cs can 4Ghz pretty easily [relatively]
 
I would get the 3.2C:

Exactly. The trouble of finding one and paying the extra $ for 200 MHz isn't worth it. You probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. On a side note, I feel really special since I'm running P4 3.4C :)
