They are easily attainable, by me. :) The 2.4GHz/1.85v chips work flawlessly with average cooling in normal KT333/KT400 & Nforce2 motherboards. I have sold MANY of them so far and I don't know of a single person that has yet to have a problem, and many have pushed my 2.4GHz/1.85v rated chips to 2.5GHz/2.00v. It's definitely not a fantasy. I don't know how credible that list is, but in my own controlled tests I tried Fritz 8 and Shredder 7 with a P4-2.53 @ 3.32ghz vs my XP 2.5GHz.. the XP won, as well as in many other tests I ran. Only 1 thing did the P4 beat the XP 2.5 in and that was by like 1/2 a percent.. and that was gzip in linux. From the testing I've done I'll definitely be sticking with AMD... unless Intel magically pops out a 5GHz P4. That'd be the absolute minimum for me to switch over to Intel. Too many things run "super slow", like RC5, OGR, AES encryption, etc, which would need a P4 running 5-6ghz to equal my XP 2.5. If I had a P4 I'd be constantly asking myself, "Hmm, if I ran this on an Athlon would it too run 2x faster?". With what I have now it's always fast, all the time. >>>the website linked below shows that the fastest p4 has finally beaten the >>>fastest AMD (barton 3200 which runs at 2200mhz; cant be too different from the >>>xp 2800 which runs at 2167; perhaps marginally better because of the extra >>>cache!) >>> >>>amd 2375 does not officially exist >> >>You're forgetting about the 2.25GHz 166/333fsb Athlon XP, which is the >>thoroughbred core.
