The one I had was a Northwood (P4C) but they were in 2.4, 2.6 (not
2.66) and 2.8 GHz versions, so have an earlier revision (P4B).  They
will run hot but not as bad as Prescott.  See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Pentium_4

My P4C 2.8 had plenty of power to run SC but it did get very hot under
load.

Err, yeah, that doesn't sound right!  I'm pretty sure you'd know if you
were using liquid nitrogen cooling.  ;-)

The correct reading is usually contained in the data, it's a matter of
figuring out which one is right and assigning that to the CPU reading. 
However it sounds like your original problem has gone away - fingers
crossed for you!
