[Stamper]

Ok - I wanna buy a P4 Northwood 1.6GHz CPU - and the cheapest is at ebuyer. now if you check this url you will see there are two Pentium IV 1.6GHz listed:

I emailed ebuyer asking them which was the Northwood and this is what they said to me:

Dear Sir,

I believe that this processor is a Netburst Processor, but with a 512Kb
Cache. I agree that this seems strange, so the best thing for you to do is
contact Intel direct, and they should be able to advise what product
actually ships on that Part Code.

Regards

U'll be wanting the one with 512k L2 cache m8

The northwood parts should be marked Pentium 4'a' - although a lot of places miss that...

there are now four incarnations of P4


S423 256k cache - 1.3Ghz-2Ghz
S478 256k cache -1.6Ghz - 2Ghz
S478 'a' 512k cache - 1.6Ghz - 2.4Ghz <-Northwood
S478 'b' 512k cache - 2.26Ghz-2.66Ghz <-Northwood 'b' (533FSB)
