xtraits, that is the one. "Northwood" is Intels code name for that processor core.

Computer enthusiasts have been identifying and useing the code names for AMD and Intel chips for a few years now as there can be some big differences between them.

And example is:

AMD Athlon XP1800+ "Palamino"
and
AMD Athlon XP1800+ "Thoroughbred"

These two chips have a different core and even different features.

The Northwood is Intels current top desktop CPU and the one you want.

Well that's where we learn something I always thought that the difference between the Palamino & Thoroughbred was , one was the Athlon xp and the other only Athlon no xp , so could you tell me how can i know which is which , if that helps to explain i purchase a Athlon XP 1700+ brand new no where on the box to see which one it is.
Thanks in advence for the info & your time.
