Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
exactly, but in theory 256kb on a prescot is equivilent to 128kb on a northwood. Its still 1/4 of the size of the Pentium 4(latency on NW processors is arround 1T and on prescots its about 4-5T), and with a 50% longer pipeline, and slower cache, its not going to have a vastly noticalbe...
PNY and the Abit OETS were good ones, they came only in 128mb flavors..
though, considering the 6200's (value cards) perform close to the Geforce 4 TI's now, mabye you should look at those.
prescots incure a 4x latency hit on their cache compared to Northwoods, and I dont have to mention the vastly extended pipeline.
Thus what I orginaly said, the extra cache on the Prescot Celerons has minnimal effect.

they have alot of SMP mainboard reviews.
My personal favorite is the Iwill DVD266-R
But most of the good ones are no longer avaliable.
Same Stepping processors are never required, but are reccomended in mission ciritical situations.
a 3.0C on a 133mhz FSB supported board would run at a mear 2ghz :(
Also, FSB is the most important tribute to Netburst Processors... and a slower FSB should be avoided.
