Strategy

The Pentium 4 Willamette 1800-MHz processor offers a good balance in its 18× core-to-processor bus multiplier ratio. Overclocking returns approaching 2100 MHz should be realized with minimal effort. However, the P4 1800 represents a transition phase in the Willamette architecture for overclocking enthusiasts; models featuring higher multipliers will offer less performance return, due to restrictions in processor bus speeds. The P4 1800 displays evidence of this shift when speed grades of the Willamette design are closely compared.
