Makaveli, my numbers are really 2x of those processors. The box has 4, but a given process can only access 2 at a time unless it does its own scheduling (not many apps do), so you may want to make the processor 2x E7-4870 or the like.

It would be beat by the hex core SB's running over 4Ghz in a single proc scenario.

@ Maximilian - because you are such a nice guy :p And because I was curious about how awesome a CPU that was ~highend from 2006 would fair... (sorry, no HT)

Pentium D 920 - 2GB DDR2 433 (I think? PC2-4300 @ 266mhz), 955x Chipset

So far as I can tell, these two Presler cores together constitute one ~3ghz modern core. w00t!

I bought the board, ram, CPU, Cooler Master heatsink and 160GB Seagate for $170 in 2006, I believe. From the forums. That says a lot, I guess. The board has Firewire B, though :p

http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=32071&eval=417747&show=to <-- Oh yeah! (he threw in the HD out of pity, I believe. Remember, this is when a 2GB of DDR2 would set you back something like $80-$90...)

Wow. That was a very, very good deal back then. In all honesty, for e-mail and simple web browsing that system is more than enough, even running Windows 7. 2GB more of RAM and it'd even be decent at some multi-tasking. The Pentium D is a huge power hog, though it is fast enough for simple tasks on a modern OS.

Haha epic that mustve taken ages to bench! lol :thumbsup: Those chips were pretty decent back then, i remember anandtechs "dual core on the cheap" article about the PD 805, 800 series were flamethrowers though heh.

If you overclocked it by 700mhz it may reach 1.0 cinebench score :)

Haha :p

I was going to give you hell for "making" me bench it, but I would have done it anyway... I had actually forgotten about that guy - it is the WHS sitting @ my parents house these days - essentially a remote control support gateway. I stopped watching the x264 bench and had to reconnect twice during the different runs as the connection timed out after 30 minutes of inactivity :p

Windows Live Mesh is pretty sweet for remote control, BTW.

Makes a fine WHS. Hell, the thing has eight freaking SATA 2 ports.

@ LOL_WUT - people hated the Pentium D's like the bulldozers of today (for good reason) but that made people dump them for crazy prices. I was waiting on a super cheap 805, but this was too good to pass up.

It ran XP MCE like a champ, finished up with Vista in desktop duty and is now toiling away with WHS 2011. 64-bit, VT Enabled, the whole shebang. Easily the longest tenured rig in my current "possession" - mostly because it was such a good deal and the 955xbk Intel board is so swanky. Intel onboard NIC, etc.

Sorry Max, for all I like the thing, the OC'ing was gimped hardcore by Intel. So we'll never know... 3.5 Ghz might be in the cards for that CPU if you had the rest of the setup... totally worth the power draw!

If someone offered me a 8120, top tier mobo, 8GB of ram and an SSD for $180 today, I'd buy it again :p

I wondered how the SU2300 1.2ghz core2 chip in my craptop fares vs the pentium D, i just ran cinebench on it though since we're only doing desktop chips.

Cinebench 11.5

Not a great score lol...

FYI - the CPU appeared to turbo right at ~3.0GHz while running CB.

I updated to Pov Rav 3.7 beta and now it ran on all 6 cores.

Much better score now.

:thumbsup:

Both of us running 6-core machines have relatively lower-speed RAM (I have ~1400 and you have 1600). Anyone know what benches are more sensitive to RAM speed? When I got my RAM, it was a big difference in price for 32GB from the 1333mhz vs. 1866 (or even 1600 for that matter) and I wasn't sure how the SB-E would handle 8 DIMMS OCd...

SB laptops still overclock via Turbo Boost...

And yes, Turbo Boost is overclocking--just within Intel's thermal specifications. It's raising the CPU's base clock speed.

You're using Windows 8? D:

lol turbo boost ;)

Yeah I've been working with Windows 8 for awhile, I repair PC's so I like to have hands on experience Microsoft's latest operating systems. Windows 8 will be on new OEM PC's soon and I see a great deal of OEM PCs.

If I have to make PC repairs I'll just make sure to mention to customers that they can upgrade to Windows 7. I can't imagine the slew of complaints Microsoft will receive because they're forcing Metro on laptop and desktop users. But I don't want to get too off-topic so I'll just leave it at that.
