"3.0Ghz Versus 2.6Ghz CPU"

Ok Ive got a little problem;

My 2.8 P4 will only hit 230 fsb ~ 3.2GHz , but I've got RAM capable of hitting ~277 fsb.

I know it means spending more money, but it keeps me happy and therefore worth it...

I want to replace it with either a 15 multiplier (3.0 GHz) or a 13 multiplier (2.6 GHz).

The 2.6 has advantage of being renowned for bad boy overclocks in the region of 1GHz and the bandwidth that would come with such an overclock would be awesome.

The 3.0 has the advantage of being able to achieve close to 4GHz but with limited bandwidth, the prices of both chips are fairly low.

Any thoughts on the better OC path to go down??

I've gone all the way up to 1.725 Vcore it boots and blue screens at upto 239 fsb and only runs stable at a decent voltage at 230 fsb.

What was your Vcore?
