Conclusion
So, the low-end model of the renewed Pentium 4 series, Pentium 4 2.4C with the 800MHz bus and Hyper-Threading support, is a real bargain for overclockers. Counting out about $180 for the CPU and $120 for the mainboard, you get the fastest system without any big risk or much effort. Of course, the history chronicles better overclockability in a relative measure, but from the point of view of getting the fastest system at the lowest price Pentium 4 2.4C stands unrivalled today.

At the same time we should note that the arrival of overclockable Pentium 4 2.4C CPUs doesn’t mean the end of the Athlon XP 1700+ overclocking epoch. Low-end models from AMD are much cheaper and will surely remain the best choice for overclockers with a small financial budget.

Yes, I've heard that as well. Especially using an 865 mobo, as the performance "enhancement" added by the 875Pboards is negligable and doesn't account for the huge price difference.
