Sorry mate, rules were NOT clear... nothing fair about changing stuff two weeks before the competition ends...
Really where does it say that the 200FSB is NOT allowed ? they specifically mention the 2.4 and 2.8Ghz Northwood, not the 3GHz version...
Only Pentium 4 3.06 GHz, Pentium 4 1.6 GHz Northwood, Pentium 4 1.8 GHz Northwood, Pentium 4 2.0 GHz Northwood, Pentium 4 2.2 GHz, Pentium 4 2.26 GHz Northwood, Pentium 4 2.4 GHz Northwood (100 FSB), Pentium 4 2.4 GHz Northwood (133 FSB), Pentium 4 2.5 GHz, Pentium 4 2.8 GHz B Northw. (133 FSB), Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Northwood, Pentium 4 3.0 GHz Northwood, Pentium 4 2.66 GHz, Pentium 4 2.53 GHz
I don't look for the manufacturing date of the CPU, the crew should have done that properly beforehand when posting the rules...
