Hi people
Just wondering if you could give me some advice concerning a question I've been pondering on lately. I'm planning on building a new system shortly (as soon as i've got the money for it that is.. :D ) and I've decided to go for:
Gigabyte GA-8IHXP Mobo
2 * 256Mb Rambus (RIMM) PC-800
P4 IHC-L71 Silent Fan Delta Heat Pipe Radiator P4
Lian-Li PC60 USB
The thing I'm wondering about now is whether I should go for a P4 2.4a or a P4 2.4B, seeing they're both the same price. This cause I would like to oc it at some point and I've gather that this is usually easiest by increasing the FSB. And I figured with a base FSB of 400 Mhz for the P4 2.4'A' as opposed to 533 Mhz for the P4 2.4'B' I'll have more Mhz to play with when I go for the 'A'. But than again the 'B' is newer and should therefore be better?
What do you think?
