Default new build & i want 4 GHZ ? !

hi all again starting new build after iv finished building my case for all the bits

wil post soon when complete

at the min im runing 2 GHZ and i really want to try and get 4 GHZ on this build without getting too expensive
this is what iv found up2 now is these components overclock'abble to 4ghz?

or maybe a better suggestion around the same sort of price ?
the hole thing will be watercooled but i would still like 4ghz if possabble with still reliability i will be runing xp pro sp3 and be doing gaming internet music and so on to be onist i just want 4 ghz

I would have thought an E8400 / P45 setup would have been far better.

Should get you to 4Ghz pretty easily.

that CPU won't overclock at all

AMD processors are already near their limit

E7200 and P45 would be best, cheapest bet

The new E8600 will go to 4Ghz on air although it's expensive. Would save on water cooling though.

hmmmm... Overclocking to 4GHz with stability might be a tall order. Overclocking is not my forte though so go with the other opinions.

Assuming you had the budget (As in Bill Gates budget lol jk) Id say get a Cell based system, not great at running windows though.. They come standard at 4GHz and therefore dont need overclocking and its a lot faster than the normal single, double or quad processor. Downside is your looking at running Linux instead of windows more than likely. This is a bit daft though, wouldnt recommend

All the 45nm Duos will go to 4ghz and above eventually. It may take a couple voltage tweaks but not much, mostly it's FSB.

you have vastly misplaced priorities. you can't add clock speeds, you will get zero use out of the other processor, and you can't do dual 2600s.

Yea, Like carbon said, you don't add the clock speeds, basicly it's making a duel core prossesor out of 2 single core ones. You won't get much perfornace increase from it (similar ratios to Xfire/SLI probably) as i'm not sure XP has proper drivers for duel CPU (because the OS isn't a server OS)
