Difference between Intel CPUs

I finally setteled on an ASUS motherboard with an Intel chipset and now
I'm trying to figure out which CPU to get.

I already have four 512MB PC3200 DDR chips for two gigs of RAM which I
believe will work with the ASUS motherboard:

So, should I get a 533Mhz CPU to match the memory speed? How exactly do
you match memory with an Intel CPU?

Thanks for any insight.

well that is 400 mhz ram so the you could get a 800 mhz chip
the question is what board did you purchase?

Actually, it is 200mhz ram double pumped and the cpu is 200mhz quad
pumped. ;-)

yea that memory will work with that board using a 800 mhz chip

Thanks. Using Pricewatch, I found:

They've got 75% positive feedback which I read through. Has anyone here
dealt with them?

Is this the right CPU? It's in my price range.

Why do you want a Precott cpu? They run hot. You should get a 2.8ghz
Northwood with 800mhz FSB.

Prescott is designated with an E and Northwood 800fsb with a C.

This is the one you should get.

I was undecided whether or not to get Prescott or Northwood. After reading
reviews, I decided on the cooler running Northwood. I just won a 3.2C at an
auction for $175 retail box, which seems to be a pretty fair price I think.

Forget about Intel. Buy an Athlon 64 instead. Many of those who buy a
32 bit processor in '04 will probably in '05 regret that they didn't buy
a 64 bit processor instead when great 64 bit software is released.
