New--What P-4 based CPU do you have?

[Sneaky]

scrap my P4 660ES post... just upgraded to a pentium D 955XE presler ES

tasty new toys

Just got and am in the process of overclocking my first real Intel rig (one before this was an 800MHz P3), a 2.4GHz Northwood celly. Man, this thing sucks. At stock speed, the 800 beat it in CS:S, the 800 having 384MB RAM and a DX7 GeForce MX 4000. This celly rig has a 9200se (at 300 core atm... forget the mem) and 1GB of RAM (that is supposed to be in it but right now it just has 256... friend borrowing the GB). However, it's hit 3.0 and is not stopping (but is quite warm unfortunately), this is helping it push itself past the 800MHz. Stupid 128k cache. However considering i paid $70 for the whole thing, including 1GB RAM, it's not that bad.

Count me in for a Northwood as well. Main rig is in sig.
I dont have any reason of upgrading to anything new right now as nothing that I run requires a whole lot of power (thats my excuse for having no $$$ to invest in a new system lol).

Running a 640 would love a 641

mobile prescott P4 HT and Celey D

3.2GHz Extreme Edition 478 Gallatin (northwood based)

Still a great chip IMO.

I've upgraded too since I first made this Poll. Got a Pentium D 940 Presler dual core now.

Just out of interest. With your new system. Does running 4x 512MB modules give you a performance bump over 2x 512MB modules, simular to the i875/i865 chipset?

in the active rig if i can call it that its Celeron Willamette or Northwood 478

Maybe it's time to start a new CPU poll? Might be interesting to see what differences 6 months make.

 

[Maviryk]

Oh! New CPU poll! I've got a Dothan now, so I couldn't vote... It was PIII based?

 

[KJSatz]

530J!

This is no longer the "new" thread. Please post in the Spring 2006 thread instead.
