The P4 1600A offers incredible overclocking potential due to its highly refined .13-micron copper core fabrication process. Most units can attain stable operation at 2400 MHz (that's an 800-MHz overclock) with nothing more than an increase in bus speed, though you may need to increase to 1.60v or 1.65v for improved stability. The P4 1600A is one of the most often overclocked processors out there. With a whopping 275 entries in the Overclockers.com CPU database, the P4 1600A is often compared to the old Celeron 300A for its overclocking potential to price ratio.
