Hot CPU

Or you could buy 3 shares of @HOME and still have some left over to diversify.

Shouldn't they say CPU lane? Sombody call the Smithsonian...

Ya know, it kind of makes me sick to recall I paid $2500 for a PC with one of those, once.
 
I don't want to thread crap, so if anyone wants to know where to get a new one for not much more than these used ones, PM me ;-)
 
actually those were produced in Malasia in a very good batch. I have been able to overclock this puppy to equal a p3 992mhrtz.
but i did use some watercooling and other tricks.
So speeds will very.
 
haha... that's funny. p4's as rebadged 486's... LOL 😀

hm... i don't remember if you can really oc these. Don't thinkso, but even if you could... it wouldn't make much of a difference! I had this exact same CPU once. I got it on my birthday 9 years ago!!!! man... the good old days... brings back memories 🙂
 
You could overclock them to 40mhz with a heatsink/fan, made a huge difference with Doom framerates. Stock config only needed a heatsink -- those were the days!
 
Wasn't it this chip that they intentionally disabled the DX's math coprocessor circuitry to sell 'cheaper' systems? It actually cost them more to make the SX version, but then they could sell you a separate math coprocessor for an upgrade.
