That is awesome work dude, I can't wait to see your results when you get that cascade!

Haha there are volt mods for everything. The P4P800's are usually great overclockers, if you get really hardcore into it you might want to check out the droop mod which fixes the fluctuating CPU voltage issue.

With memory using low voltages, heatspreaders do little in terms of cooling. If/when you do get the new motherboard and volt mod it, with voltages 3.2+V, make sure you have good case cooling or a fan pointed in the memory's direction...

The stock adhesive will work just fine, there is no need to use thermal grease. Your worries are valid, by removing the stock adhesive you'd need to put something else thick between the heatspreader and DRAM. Btw did you volt mod your...

Most motherboards only support one memory standard. There are a few boards that support both DDR and DDR2 however the memory cannot be used at the same time. As for your motherboard, your system specs are a bit vague, does your board use...

The Pentium 3.2EE is based on the Gallatin core which is actually a Xeon core. On average it seems to overclock slightly better than equivalent Northwood Pentium 4's but will probably not reach as high a "MHz" as a Prescott...
