Intel Pentium 4 - 2.40 GHz Processor

Strengths: Impressive processor.

Weakness: None

Express great price and surprising capacities of overclock. Intel perfectly works to me stable to 3,367 mhz with the standard ventilator that it brings the processor. And at that speed of overclock, the temperature was only of 42ºC, I made verifications until with a sounding. The used motherboards, one Gigabyte Ga8IK1100 2 Rev and one Asus P4P800 Deluxe.

Express great price and surprising capacities of overclock. Intel perfectly works to me stable to 3,367 mhz with the standard ventilator that it brings the processor.

And at that speed of overclock, the temperature was only of 42ºC, I made verifications until with a sounding. The used motherboards, one Gigabyte Ga8IK1100 2 Rev and one Asus P4P800 Deluxe. I DID NOT HAVE TO TOUCH THE VOLTAGE OF THE PROCESSOR, EITHER THE ONE OF THE MEMORY NOR THE ONE OF THE AGP, WITH THE VOLTAGES BY DEFECT.

A jewel and to an exceptional price.

Strengths: 800Mhz FSB, stablity, and reliablity

Weakness: Non that I've found

I set this up with the abit IC7-Max3 MoBo, and it's the best system I have ever had. It wasn't a pain to set up, and I've had no problems with it.

Strengths: Outstanding performance, solid, stable, top-notch reliability.

Weakness: None

I have been buying, modding, and building PC systems for about 6 years now and I was skeptical about paying what I thought was "for the name Intel", now I am convinced and telling fellow PC modders and builders to go with Intel P4's or go home! I love the fact that now I know I don't have to worry about upgrading anytime soon either, using the Intel Desktop Control Center even shows that I hardly...

I have been buying, modding, and building PC systems for about 6 years now and I was skeptical about paying what I thought was "for the name Intel", now I am convinced and telling fellow PC modders and builders to go with Intel P4's or go home!

I love the fact that now I know I don't have to worry about upgrading anytime soon either, using the Intel Desktop Control Center even shows that I hardly ever put any load on the CPU, it handles all tasks with ease!

My last system I used an Athlon XP 2000+ w/ 266 FSB CPU and it does not even come close to performing as well as this and my new Pentium 4 2.4Ghz w/800 FSB. I love the fact that the Operating System (XP of course) and other programs show my PC as having 2 CPU's, that is part of the HyperThreading technology and performs as if there are 2 CPU's in there.

I was so proud to remove the Athlon CPU badge and replace it with the Intel supplied P4 Inside one. I even painted my case and got a nice blue cathode light to further enhance the look of this quiet beast I built!

I've had this chip in my computer...

Strengths: 800Mhz FSB, Hyperthreading, Overclockability, Price

Weakness: None

I've had this chip in my computer for the last two months and it is blazing fast. It does circles around my Pentium 4 2.0Ghz 400Mhz FSB Laptop. Hyperthreading is definitely the way to go. Skip the 400/533 FSB chips, because they can't touch the performance of the 800's for the money. They are perfect for high intense gaming and are extremely stable. One think to note however, if you need to...

One think to note however, if you need to remove heatsink, be extremely careful! These chips have a tencancy to STICK to the bottom of the heatsink and you can easily bend the tiny pins if your not careful. I've removed the heatsink twice, and both times the processor came with it!!

The model C Pentium 4s are...

Strengths: Hyper-Threading 800mhz FSB

Weakness: Multipliers are locked

The model C Pentium 4s are absolutely amazing. Especially, the 2.4ghz and 2.6ghz because they often can be overclocked to 3.2ghz to around 3.6ghz. I bought the 2.4C and clocked it to 3.6ghz with the MSI Neo2 board. It ran amazing cool with the right copper heatsink. Unlike the AMD athlons, the P4's don't require more than 1.7v to hit the high overclock speeds which is a major reason why they run...
