My friend has an Intel Pentium 4 2.4C and he has overclocked it 3.2 GHz (3204 MHz). He is using a 267 MHz base clock which means 12 x 267 = 3204. What is amazing is that this is a Northwood. He is using an Abit IC7-Max3 motherboard. When he benched it, it outperformed an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ @ 3800+ in everything. My friend is using DDR550, so the memory is downclocked, but what I can't understand is how the hell does the P4 outperform an A64. Somebody, enlighten me.
