overclocking question

[jagboy125]

hey
i have a intel p4 2.0 (400mhz) @ 2.6ghz(30% overclocking i think)...
now that i have it overclocked does that mean that my fsb increases also. if so what would it be?
thanx

You can download CPU-Z and see it there.

for $106 its not bad.....
which one is better northwood or prescott, im mainly going to be working on some gaming...not big on gaming but i ocasionaly play..but mainly a lot of multitasking......btw which is better when overclocked....
i would go with dual core but my motherboard doesnt support it

I wouldnt buy it, the upgrade from a P4 2.0 to a 2.8 isnt mind blowing. Especially since the one you have no is oc'd to 2.6Ghz.

I would wait a little while longer and get enough money for a new mobo and a dual-core cpu.

i wasnt really looking at the clock speed, but more at the fsb...
right now with my cpu overclocked at 520mhz fsb....
an that cpu i posted a link to it 800mhz....
oh btw this is the motherboard i have:
