Thanks Paul, that was one heck of a reply! (If this were my office PC

I think this is the 2.8 sold by powerleap:

Why the price differential? I might think about the 3GHz if it were
this price, but its not worth $200. I was hoping for something like a
3.6GHz, but those are only on the 800MHz bus (dammit).

Oh well, thanks again.

I thought the S478 Northwoods stopped at 3.4GHz, like this one.

The Extreme Edition had more cache on it, but still the 3.4GHz limit.

There is another way, to get above 3.4GHz, and that involves
using a D stepping of Mobile Pentium4 processor (SL726). But
that is a story for another time. You need the exact right
motherboard for one of these, and these will do 3.6GHz and
run cool while doing it.

The Powerleap prices are all about supply and demand. When other
sources of previous generation stuff dry up, Powerleap will still
have some processors. That is why it is $200. It isn't worth $200.
But if you had an FSB533 motherboard, and didn't want to change
all your hardware, you might be tempted, and that is what they
are counting on.

It is like that with some S754 Athlon64 processors as well. I think the
fastest one of those, was 3700+. And yet some outfits still charge
around three hundred for it, when it is worth a lot less.
