Hi,

Bad start to my day as Ive got a mail saying my processor isnt in stock anymore.
So I'm looking elswhere for the same processor, an Intel P4 Northwood. 3.4Ghz.
Heres the original product I wanted:

Now I found this one on Ebuyer: (Click below for Spec)

Is this the same one

I need to find the exact same CPU as soon as possible.
Its has to be a Northwood 3.4Ghz.

Thanks.

(same manufacturers code)

The product code that Ebyer uses (BX80532PG3400D ) is indeed the northwood 3.4 chip

edit - Dang - Bifta beat me to it

[Halcyon]

Excellent. If this was a pub, I'd buy you both a drink.
Thanks again.

[Halcyon]

Another problem has arrived.
Everywhere I seem to look has this OUT OF STOCK.
With all my other equipment on its way I really neeed to get hold of this chip.
Does anyone know where I can buy it and its IN STOCK ?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I cant see any difference - they both have the same FSB GHZ and cache sizes etc? are you sure there is such a thing as a northwood 3.4?

ok, just checked overclockers and there is a different 3.4 processor called northwood and it's out of stock!

how bloody confusing - what's the flaming difference?

yes, definately...

halcyon -

never used them - but they should be ok (couple of mates have used them), also they still have warranty on the kit, so any issues, you can send it back

Judging by how hard they are to get, I suggest you snap it up whilst it is in stock

[etccarmageddon]

the prescott shows on the intel web site as the 'extreme edition' so shirely this means it's better?

[etccarmageddon]

here's another shop but they dont say if it's a prescott or northwood chip.
