Yea, I really hope I get some time to try overclocking one, the x20 mult (?...!) with northwood core definitely gets my attention =D.
I was/am an Athlon fan back in that era (bridge mods are awesome) so I'm rusty on P4 knowledge from that era. I think the only thing to be wary of is early stepping (what is an "early stepping" P4 NW?) northwoods would die if vCore was over 1.7v for prolonged periods.
I have to laugh at people calling that a weakness. 1.7v+ was stupid hot rail for vcore!. Granted at the time I was running socket 754 a64's at 1.8v with water - but I accepted that those were stupid high voltages. If the chip died, It wasn't the chips fault! Amazingly none died, AMD somehow locked down the Alpha sauce of "voltage/heat don't bother me!" =D
Well except if you ran your vCore at 0.9v and the memory at 3.5v. But I digress...
I hope you get some clocks outta that! Report back if you do! |

Inspired by CPUShack's box thread, here is the strangly marketed K6-III retail box.
"Powerfully Different" ... ? |

Hopefully Soon (tm) I'll get the scanning station unburied and I can get some pictures of de-lidded K6's - finally!
Also working on getting the box of EISA motherboards recovered from my parent's house. Hopefully some entertaining 486's lurk in there.
So not dead... (yet) 
Added: To give some idea of how buried it is  |

Thus your "reward" are more pictures of my horrible mess. Actually it's more so you guys can make fun of me to push me to clean it  |

johnorun - sorry you're right. It does come off too much as a brag. I should have taken pictures of the floor/hallway that are piled full of stuff I need to find-a-home or get rid of.
I posted the pics of the cpu boxes just to show that they're not buried in some esoteric "collectors" box never to be seen again. Same with the games. Yea they're old/irrelevant but argh I'm proud of my lack of sunlight as a youth lol.
I've seen some cool threads about other people's "collection management." I need to browse more and see. The ones I remember were how to "show" a collection - which is awesome. But I need the work bench "these aren't just for show" version.
I have fond memories of the "two deck local computer shop backroom" which I need to recreate.
Maybe there needs to be "What's your computer workbench?" thread? Not so much as for showing off - but "hey that's a good idea I can use for my workspace?" But then I'm not sure if that's necessarily compatible with CPU Worlds "collection and documentation" vs "Lets see what 20+ years of knowledge can do to make these old chips sing" 
Yea, I'm the hardware gidiot who if I won the lottery would put a 386 under phase change and some horrorible SSD adapter just to answer "what if?" Probably nothing but.... Yea I'm weird. Heck I still wonder if there is some perverse way to get a 386SX or 486SLC mated up to an IBM PS/2 Model 50. It'd be horrible slow but... heh. So wrong it's right.
