Cohen The Barbarian Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Get an e2180 Pentium Dual-Core for the $$. It is an Allendale Core 2 Duo chip with 1MB cache, and they are strong overclockers too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819116052 $84.99 I have mine overclocked to 3.0GHz.

MichalK Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 is that ok for a board with these specsCPU LGA775 socket for Intel Pentium 4 / Pentium D processor No, the board must support Core2 architecture CPUs (Core2duo, Pentium DualCore (completely different beast from Pentium D), Celeron Dual Core). Look for the P31 based gigabyte if you want to overclock your 2180/2200. My P5LD2 doesn't let me go too far with 2180 - only approx 2.7GHz. These gigabytes are reported to work flawlessly with osx86.
