P4 3ghz

[BlyGuy]

I obtained a brand new Pentium 4, 3 ghz processor and need to sell it. I am not sure what I should ask for it or what it is worth. I believe its a Northwood.
Box says 3.00 ghz 1.55V Max, System bus 800Mhz, 512 L2 cache, PGA-478pkg
any help on this would be appreciated.

Ok, no price checks here. I found this

Operating Frequency: 3.0GHz
FSB: 800MHz
Cache: L1/12K+8K; L2/512K
Voltage: 1.525V
Process: 0.13Micron

Is this the processor I have?

Yes, that's the chip you have (although there is a discrepancy in the voltage; yours says 1.55V "max" while the other one lists the rated 1.525V).

But it's the same generation, featureset, etc. Just list it as a Pentium 4 3.0C. You can add the word "northwood" if you want but that's implied with the "C". All Pentium 4 "C's," ie the 2.4C, 2.6C, 2.8C, 3.0C and 3.2C have the same specs of 800 MHz FSB, Socket 478, .13um (means "micron"), etc. They also all run at 1.525-1.55V.

Check out ebay to see what these are currently selling for.

Why not keep it? The northwood 3.0 is a very nice cpu. They run much much cooler than their Prescott counterpart and they are excellent overclockers.
