Strategy

The Pentium 4 Northwood 2200 processor extends good overclocking balance by means of its 22.0× multiplier-to-processor bus ratio. Many chips in this speed grade can effectively scale past 2500 MHz with a minimal increase in core voltage levels. Otherwise, nearly all P4 2200A processors should attain a stable overclock near the 2400-MHz frequency level with little more than a quick adjustment to the motherboard's processor bus speed.
