Intel EOL's Pentium 4/Pentium D Series

The Pentium 4 and Pentium D series had a great run, but in the end, Conroe completely overtook it. And so, Intel put a date on when we will not see any more Pentium 4s or Pentium Ds on the market. On October 7th, anyone who orders a Pentium 4 or Pentium D processor will not be allowed to cancel their order. On December 7th, Intel will not be taking any orders at all for them. This will allow Intel to make room for cheaper Core 2 Duo processors.

Meh, they had their moments. I think calling them a POS is a little harsh.

Ah, netburst blew. The new arcitecture is so much more efficent anyway.

Although this may upset my uncle. He gets these chips all the time to put in other people's computers.

I wonder if we will still be able to order netburst Celerons?

With the Conroe-L Celeron 420 priced at $49 there really isn't a place for netburst Celerons.

Ya my overclocked 915 2.8 is about the same speed as my 3060 at stock... in some cases still slower, and I was clocked at 4.4x...

Just Netburst ;). 1ghz p3 could out run a p4 clocked at...umm I think it was anything below 1.7 ghz, or something like that. Also, you have to remember, core 2 traces its lineage to pentium 3 through pentium m's. So, it was only p4 and pentium d that were bad.

Probably can't, it all came out of a cheap gateway....
But when I plug it in actually I'll see what it does, and what I can do with it...

Figure I'll use it as like a linux internet gateway/router/firewall
Work great for that with some massive passive cooling to keep it silent.

Don't matter, all you need is a mobo that can overclock, the processor will do it if the mobo can :D.

Router? For a P3....that's like a celeron's job. For a P3......file server is perfect.

P3 doesn't draw any power thats the nice part. I have built a lot of routers on like AMD k6 166's and such... Even thats plenty enough, i just figure i have it sitting and I wont use it for anything else...

The mainboard probably wont allow the overclock was the point...

And for the file/print sever, I my old Intel 915D doing that now.

It was still a popular proc that has lasted way beyond its prime. RIP NUTBURST.

Love the winter just for that, leave the office window open and the cold air keeps my systems all at a nice 26-28 c, and the room is pretty comfortable.
