I picked up a P4PE motherboard cpu and ram in a case at local thrift store for 7$ including the case psu and dvd burner. No HDD
Is it worthy for overclocking? Is 478 cold bugged?
Looks like I can change most OC settings. Unfortunately, I don't have an IDE drive worthy of testing with this set up. Will it be worth it to invest in a couple of drives?
Thoughts?

I'm not worried so much about the HDD. I'm really not familiar with Intel on most all sorts of levels. Yea I've toyed with a few here and there, but never really seriously benched into Intel platforms.
Any pointers with 478 is very welcome! Like is the P4PE a decent board? Usually from memory I would like to have a P4C or something>? lol. I feel new to overclocking again.....

P4P is either a 845 or 865 chipset the board to have would be a P4P800-SE.
P4C is a 875 chipset the board to have is a P4C800E-Deluxe.
Both go alright I have seen good scores on both.
P4PE is a 845 chipset FSB is 533 not 800 would be limited in clocking 800 bus processors.
I had to have a quick look at the manual once I seen you didnt have sata ports.

P4PE is a sucker, Inte's first DDR board, sinlge-channel. Go get a P4P800SE or P4C800-E (even better). There is a special BIOS for the latter. No need for Raptor, they gonna cost like hell.

Have lots of drives stashed. Pata drives people thought old junk. But they complete retro machines just fine.  Search " ide to sata converter " on ebay. $3-4 |

yes ive got one, theyre good when the board likes them, my last 462 socket said no way, hooked up ide to all and booted into windows, with the ide to sata connector hooked up it bod'd every time, itll see it but just like it when it goes to boot into windows, had me pulling me hair out. pete told me, go to ide, i thought here we go again , he was right, booted up straight up after xp install

Have a couple of those and they won't work with a disk drive for installs and such, only with HDD's or SSD's.
Everytime I've tried one with a disk drive it fails to "See" the drive.

The Abit Serillel adaptors only work in one direction the aftermarket ones with 2 ports on them work in both directions (Parallel to Serial or Serial to Parallel)
Shane that 462 board has had SSD's with an adaptor plugged in to it before I dont know why it wouldnt work for you that time I use them all the time.

They vary a lot from model to model. Chinese ones I've used before wouldn't work on most boards and where they did, it was only PIO mode. Later I got two Agestar adapters. They tend to work in old boards like Abit BE6 and shoot pretty good (I've paired them with Iram and it showed all the way to 30+MB/s which is the max for UDMA33). But oddly they didn't work in Gigabyte s478 (IPE1000 I suppose) that had both UDMA133 and SATA ports. Don't know what overhead they give for faster ports like DMA66/100/133.

Probably just find an ide drive. Then I shouldn't have any troubles.
