Trying to find an Intel P4 Northwood CPU around 3Ghz but they're hard to
find here in Canada... Any suggestions?

There were no Northwoods with 1meg cache, right? I assume that any socket
478 P4 with 512meg cache is a Northwood?

Thx!

I should add that this is for a Multimedia PC.... TV capture, some games,
PVR, etc... Would be going into a tiny PC chassis.

If I can't get a Northwood, what would be a decent Prescott? (I'm stuck with
a socket 478 mainboard i865 chipset)

Havent really looked at Intels that much but there was that Xbit labs
article which said Intel was creating a shortage of the old Northwoods
and MBs because they wanted to force everyone to move to the prescotts
which werent as popular as they thought they would be. I think I
posted this already. Some motherboard makers they claimed had a
shortfall in revenue, sales targets because of the shortage -- they
couldnt meet demand. This was back in Nov Dec.
