INTEL PENTIUM
531 SL9CB CHINA
3.0GHZ/IM/888/84A

Some numbers may be wrong . They are very difficult to read.

Building a backup computer with old spare parts.

Is it any better than a DUO?

Regards.

It's a LGA775 hyperthreaded 90nm prescott with 1M cache. It's just as fast and no faster than the 3GHz socket 478 pentium 4's. The 1 in the model code means it has EM64T support. Basically, this is the chip that made AMD's hayday. This pentium product line was the pinnacle of intel's idiocy.
