Besides the fact that you might as well just save your money and get the
3.06GHz chip?

The 3.0GHz specifically requires a motherboard with the 875P chipset, 
which gives you the dual channel DDR400 memory bus.  The faster FSB is 
the whole reason for having the 3.0GHz P4.  AFAIK there are few to no 
changes to the CPU itself, and you've wasted $350+ by getting a 3.0GHz 
chip and putting it in an older motherboard - by my calculations, it'll 
run at 2.0GHz with a 533MHz bus.
