Pentium 4 HT Northwood is an oldie but a goldie. On a modern PCIE & DDR2 based motherboard it still rockz for multimedia and websurfing. I must know it I have the 3,4 GHz version running Windows 7 totaly smooth
shit processor. I've used Dell PC's with these, quote: "@3.2ghz" years ago and they were slow as hell. almost as bad as using the old pentium II. P4HT's were supposedly beaten by the AMD Athlon x2 until Intel released their core 2 duo.
@MrTpengineer or maybe up to that point most of us needed the performance of REAL multicore CPU's much more than frequency for using more than 1 application at the same time. seeing as fast multitasking cannot be done on single cores without hyperthreading. sometimes simply having a good OS, having enough RAM and doing maintenance on your 7.200rpm hard drive once a week isn't enough pal.
@3headedHelldog Yea but for the time single core processors were pretty fast, My server is a pentium 4 and it works fine for games, it hasn't lagged a bit :) It's only a 478 1.3 ghz non-hyperthreading one which I could use a 2ghz one but eh, oh well.
@MrTpengineer yea for games they would be, because games back in the day weren't multithreaded. back then some people were still using win9x systems, that's the platform Doom ran on :)
The P4 is old but not crappy, it makes still fun to build P4 based systems. All you need is a new graphic card PCI-E or AGP. For example ATI 4xxx Series, and this earlier systems are running! 1080p Youtube makes no problems.
3,2 Ghz Pentium 4 Northwood (Prescotts are slower and hotter)
lol, incredible realistic games... This ads really shows how technology goes fast. Ten years back the Pentium 4 was the master. Ten years later, you are shy to own it :) Core i7 Xtreme time now, lets see how its successor will blow its "low" performances away. :)
@charlesmartel1000 I would say it in other way. Pentium 4, Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition were beaten by PowerPC G3,G4 and G5, AMD AthlonXP, AMD Athlon64 and AMD Athlon64 X2.
Now Intel's rep is at jeopardy again, with a lot of sockets for the CoreiX series that confuse the public, even higher price points for just better math processing, and ARM on the horizon ruling the portable and low-end world Intel's best-selling at.
At jeahr 2000 Athlon Tunderbird was the best x86 CPU on market and the successor Athlon XP Were incredibly fast and cheap, but this time, no one would have to be true that AMD was good.
It is regrettable that this K7 Mainboard and Chpsets were only a few were good, the others were poorly developed and had driver problems which were later corrected.
I have a bunch of computers, with both Intel and AMD processors, and by far, Intel is the best. Now, the Pentium 4 is an excellent processor, but if you could afford something better, then why not get a Core i7 quad-core? The Pentium 4 is only a single-core. Still, it is one of the fastest processors available.
ok pentium 4 is overheating,THEN BUY A NEW HEATSINK AND BUY SOME CASE FANS.but pentium 4 is great for people who does basic work but dont use vista with it.just use windows xp media center or pro with it
If your CPU is LGA775, then buy a basic DDR2 motherboard, for around $20 and buy 2GB of DDR2 ram for another $20. Then you have the latest motherboard + ram combo, and faster ram.
Read the post before replying. I hate trollers like you.
Firstly it has a 2MB cache, secondly, who the hell was comparing it to a Quad Core CPU?... Are you fucking insane?
The only difference in Photoshop, would be the start up time, on a P4 it will load 5-6 seconds longer. That's about it, editing wise there will be no difference between the two. All it needs is 2GB of ram, and a decent CPU.
Stop trolling. I have a Q6600, but this video is about Pentium 4, so I posted my P4 specs asshole.
@FRURMELLL uhm.. no you can't. I kind of have a hate towards pentium 4 cause i had mine for a very long time before upgrading. And I played games like crysis and ut3 and stuff with it. And it was not good. Not good at all.
And LOL at you comparing a Cell Processor to a Celeron. Look, you idiot, all you need to do is look at Folding@home to know the power of the Cell Processor. This is a processor used in Supercomputers. It delivers more than 1TFLOP of performance. The Cell is superior to any processor out, including the Intel Core i7. The Cell Processor has 8 SPEs, and each contains one processor core. By comparison, the Core i7 has only 4 processor cores. Do some research, look at the facts, and STFU.
LOL, I remember this time. AMD was shitting all over Intel with their new AMD Athlon 64 processors; then the boom came when AMD released the first Dual-Core processor to the consumer market. Good Ol' Days.
Netburst sucked, and Intel knew it. So they dropped the atomic bomb that was the Intel Core Duo and gained most of the market again. AMD is back now with the Phenom II, though. This is gonna get interesting.
It might be considered dual core because of hyperthreading. Hypertreading gives you two threads on one core other wise appearing as a dual core in your os.
1: The word you mean is "dual". 2: Pentium IVs are NOT dual core! Around the time that the Pentium IV was released, the dual core Pentium D and Pentium Extreme were released. These were not Pentium IV, but these 2 WERE dual core. Unless he somehow added a core himself or had the processor custom built, his Pentium IV is not a dual core processor.
still providing for oem purpose in some country like india, china and middle east. not in retail that's for sure. since core 2/ pentium dc are still too costly to them. not to mention core i7/xeon/itanium =.=
intel did announce to shutdown its production line of netburst. but also it doesn't mean they did not license it in worldwise. and plus there are many of copy cat version in china.
indian's $10 pc was made of celeron 1.7/2.0ghz with 64/128mb ram. which it was announce in late 2007 and it is coming up in q4 2009 or q2 2010.
even thought it is shit in our standard but to them it is gold....(especially eastern europe and middle east)
I'm running a pentium 4 at 2.80ghz works great. :) I have 1gig of RDram. RDram was expensive and still is expensive. :/ Is the reason why I only have 1gig of it. :(
@TURBORAPIST2 You know how long ago that was? It was about 8 MONTHS AGO! I now have the rare 3.4GHz Northwood (SL793) Pentium 4 processor, which was inside a Dell Dimension 8300 I got for free. I'm using it to play Garry's Mod.
@TURBORAPIST2 NO. E5300 is so much better than the pentium 4. E5300 is a dual core. Pentium 4 is single core! Pentium 4 has netburst, E5300 has CORE architecture. Netburst sucks and core is the newest technology.
@FRURMELLL no Pentium 4 also have 2 cores and there are pentium 4 with only single core Pentium 4 HT has 2 cores you can look at it in the task manager in performance tab you can see you have 2 threads and you can look at it in device manager you also have 2 threads Pentium 4 Ht is the best for gaming like Crysis And red Alert 3 maybe others have single core pentium 4 thats why they say its bad for games like cryrsis i have pentium 4 and crysis works smooth on mine
@735darwin pentium 4 doesn't have two cores. What you're thinking about is hyper-threading. It pretty much simulates two cores but it only has one. The new Core i7 only has four cores but in the task manager there are eight threads. Why? Hyper-threading. Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPUs don't have that feature though.
well q8300 is just 2 of e2180 that pack together.....which individual e2180 will be raped by e5200/5300. not to mention the scaling issue and performance suffer by the single application performance. although my new e8400 will eat your q8300 for breakfast with gtx 260(graphic) + gts 250/9800gt(physx) + 12gb quad channel so stop embarrassing your self :)
LOL realistic games AHAHHAHAHAH, OMG, and WIndows media Player 6. Today we look to the past i we can laught a lot, with this hi-tech stuff XD, my PDA now have more power than most PC's at that time.
You can remember the expression when we hear about a PIV? WOOOOOOW, LOL, i got one at 2ghz, and i has the king in the village XD, with a Geforce 3 :P
44 pipeline stage would be overkill. Intel only did it at 20 for the early P4's. Later P4's would have been increased to the neighborhood of 25. C2D was slashed down to 16, where Yonah was slashed down to 14 due to heat issues
the great old days .. i now still gave pentuim 4 3.0 GhZ .. but my father using it now ... i now Currently from intel -> AMD athlon 3.0 GhZ ... LOL because i dun have the money to buy INTEL ~!!
Good choice, I prefer AMD, better bang for the buck and are the best processors for heavy duty gaming on a budget. The Athlon 64 X2 is the best processor in its class and is superior in almost every respect to whatever Intel has in that price range. In my opinion you did yourself a favor and saved money. You wont regret it.
I'm running a pentium 4 at 2.80ghz works great :) Some guy in a chat room is gonna send me two sticks of RDRAM. Each 1gig of RDRAM PC800 ecc ram by mail, Woohoo! :) He said he was gonna trash it. I said Wait I'll take it. He's obvious rich b/c RDRAM was expensive and still is expensive... :/

still providing for oem purpose in some country like india, china and middle east. not in retail that's for sure. since core 2/ pentium dc are still too costly to them. not to mention core i7/xeon/itanium =.=

Well they stopped making Pentium IVs last year so I thought they didn't make PC/Workstations/Business computers with them.

intel did announce to shutdown its production line of netburst. but also it doesn't mean they did not license it in worldwise. and plus there are many of copy cat version in china.
indian's $10 pc was made of celeron 1.7/2.0ghz with 64/128mb ram. which it was announce in late 2007 and it is coming up in q4 2009 or q2 2010.
even thought it is shit in our standard but to them it is gold....(especially eastern europe and middle east)

I'm running a pentium 4 at 2.80ghz works great. :) I have 1gig of RDram. RDram was expensive and still is expensive. :/ Is the reason why I only have 1gig of it. :(

Same here also. But it's a 2.6 GHZ Pentium 4. It's crazy how much rdram costs. A set of two 512mb costs over $100. I'll stick with the 4 256mb ones.

@TURBORAPIST2 You know how long ago that was? It was about 8 MONTHS AGO! I now have the rare 3.4GHz Northwood (SL793) Pentium 4 processor, which was inside a Dell Dimension 8300 I got for free. I'm using it to play Garry's Mod.

@TURBORAPIST2 NO. E5300 is so much better than the pentium 4. E5300 is a dual core. Pentium 4 is single core! Pentium 4 has netburst, E5300 has CORE architecture. Netburst sucks and core is the newest technology.

@FRURMELLL no Pentium 4 also have 2 cores and there are pentium 4 with only single core Pentium 4 HT has 2 cores you can look at it in the task manager in performance tab you can see you have 2 threads and you can look at it in device manager you also have 2 threads Pentium 4 Ht is the best for gaming like Crysis And red Alert 3 maybe others have single core pentium 4 thats why they say its bad for games like cryrsis i have pentium 4 and crysis works smooth on mine

@735darwin pentium 4 ht had 2 virtual cores. the only pentium with two physical cores was the pentium d (correct me if im wrong)
vantageIIx 1 year ago
@735darwin pentium 4 doesn't have two cores. What you're thinking about is hyper-threading. It pretty much simulates two cores but it only has one. The new Core i7 only has four cores but in the task manager there are eight threads. Why? Hyper-threading. Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPUs don't have that feature though.

@hanrinch my q8300 +DDR2-800Mhz 4Gbs+Nvidia 9800GT 1Gb GDDR3 Vram+ Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit would Pwn ur E5300
TURBORAPIST2 1 year ago
well q8300 is just 2 of e2180 that pack together.....which individual e2180 will be raped by e5200/5300. not to mention the scaling issue and performance suffer by the single application performance. although my new e8400 will eat your q8300 for breakfast with gtx 260(graphic) + gts 250/9800gt(physx) + 12gb quad channel so stop embarrassing your self :)

a 20-pipeline stage long cpu... and I was suckered in to buy this POS.
nevertheless, the long pipeline stage actually had one 'benefit': HyperThreading (aka. a P4 single core transformed into a virtual dual core CPU...)

Pentium 4 is a 44-pipeline Stage CPU. 20 is like Core 2 Duo
chrischoy9 2 years ago
44 pipeline stage would be overkill. Intel only did it at 20 for the early P4's. Later P4's would have been increased to the neighborhood of 25. C2D was slashed down to 16, where Yonah was slashed down to 14 due to heat issues

i have pentium 4 cpu 2 40 ghz 512mb ram
and it works great for music, video, games, not that I'm a big gamer.
I'm just wondering how can I find out about the graphics cards and drivers for when I have to upgrade to vista or windows 7.
Does anyone now of a place that can help rate the specs of my computer.

JuNyI92 2 years ago
Good choice, I prefer AMD, better bang for the buck and are the best processors for heavy duty gaming on a budget. The Athlon 64 X2 is the best processor in its class and is superior in almost every respect to whatever Intel has in that price range. In my opinion you did yourself a favor and saved money. You wont regret it.
