P4 2.8 Ghz at Amazon

[thorthemighty]

Are all 2.8ghz P4s capable of hyperthreading?
i.e. a P4 Northwood 800 fsb [model number BX80532PG2800D] for example.

I'm asking because Amazon.co.uk have a few 2.8GHz P4s 800 fsb all at different prices. The descriptions all appear to describe the same processor.
What gives?

Different steppings, some overclocks better than others, enthusiasts likes to pick out the best stepping, so they could overclock the crap out of it.

do you reckon that they can all hyperthread though(the 2.8Ghzs)?

2.8Ghz with 800FSB all have Hyper-Threading.

Thanks Scottchen!

Some may be P4c some may be P4e. Dont buy prescott (P4e) as the present stepping is too hot. If it says 1 meg cache, its P4e.

That's something to watch for, but in his first post it did say northwood, so it can't be prescott.
