HL2 had a minimum requirement of a 1200MHz Pentium 4 because the Pentium 4 actually really sucks and is slower than a Pentium 3

O.o Doom III

@MrTpengineer The only was the p4 478 can be beat is if you had a p4 with ram older than ddr and had a 370-478 converter with a pentium 3 on a 478 board with ddr and better graphics.

[MrTpengineer]

Honestly the pentium 3 is very solid and performs well but really can't beat the performance of a pentium 4, who ever got that info must have got it from a moron. The pentium 4 (dependent on which model you have) has a lot better IPC and pipelines The only one's that haven't beat the p3 is the celeron line. Buit a 1ghz pentium 4 (supposing your using a 370 socket) will be the equivelent of the pentium 3, then step it up to a 478 and it will blow the 370p4 and p3 away.

@myusernamedamnit nope :)

@kargaroc386 lol your funny, pentium 4's are way faster, I have load's of them here, the only cpu's I got that mach the speed of the p3 are celerons, my lowest one has over 100kb more l2 that the p3. Still out performs it...

@kargaroc386

That's true. The P4 was a failure compared to the P3.

Well actually it's mostly the gpu that's doing all that rendering but, yeah, that's okay, you can just make false comments on that the cpu makes the game run like that, yup, no problem. Still though, remarkably good considering its a computer from 1801.

[POPCORN454545]

@kargaroc386 Your saying the newest possible Pentium 4, at like 2.4 ghz or whatever it runs at, vs a Pentium 3 is better? Ehhhhh nope.

[marcusfavonius]

I'm not all that surprised. The Pentium III was (is!) a great microarchitecture. A Tualatin PIII with large L2 will best a Pentium 4 clock per clock by a pretty wide margin. The only reason Pentium 4 became relevant was better process nodes and longer pipelines that allowed it to be clocked insanely fast to make up for it's crappy IPC. Luckily Intel woke up and smelled the coffee while the Athlon 64 was busy kicking their entire product line up and down the block.

as long as you can give power to the video card you can use any agp video card
