>>56095458
Okay then,is it using a normal desktop chip? Or is it a mobile chip?

I had a Fujitsu Amillo D7820 (which died sadly) with a Pentium 4 2.8GHz and a random HDD thrown in,and I remember that it had a desktop socket. Also I have a Acer Travelmate 800,and yes,Pentium M do get insanely hot. Mine's clocked at 1.7GHz (Centrino M,but BIOS says Pentium M) and has 2GB of RAM (came with 2 Kingston KVR heatsinked DDR SODIMMs). Runs XP because Acer built it so stupidly,that even if it has a 80GB HDD (Samsung drive) and a DVD-ROM drive,AND 2GB of RAM,they were intelligent enough to use a Radeon Mobility 9000. Talk about any support for Vista/7 Aero whatsoever. What a shame,everything else in it was decent enough. (I got it for real cheap)

You can blame that on js-heavy webpages.

I used to use a pentium m machine as my main computer, it would literally freeze if I tried to open more than 2 youtube tabs at once.

Also, Pentium M doesn't have PAE or NX bit, so you can't even install windows 8 or any modern linux distros without compiling your own kernel.

Shows you weren't around. P4s were pretty much competetive with both those and Thlons of the time. Worse but not out of their league.
Pentium M was done as a separate thing dor notebooks and had for example shit SIMD multimedia performance or lacked modern extensions and 64bit later.

They didn't go back to Pentium III, they switched to that separate design line - but it had to be improved a lot first (Core 1 and mainly Core 2).

Note that I was and always will be AMD fan (used/using socket A, 939, FM1, FM2 platforms), but you credit has to be given where it is due. History is not shitty memes.

Thunderbirds didn't even have SSE. CAD I used started to require that 10+ years ago. For SSE2, harder call but lots of software assume it already. Skype even on Linux won't run, as an example, but even FOSS multimedia like ffmpeg starts to consider even higher targets like SSSE3/SSE4 as the support baseline and you have to convince them that SSE2-only machines are still relevant.

I don't think any new code gets optimized for MMX anyway, SSE2 being the absolute baseline.

it will max out the CPU and just heat up your house and all the pages will take forever if they run HTTP5 or Flash.

but it runs Dos games the best out of all modern cpus can't find anything better than a pentuim 4 for that shit.

it can also run older OS's better than the new shit and woun't throttle down like multicore processes will when in the OS screen.

the pentuim4 also better with IDE, paraell ports and serial ports because its natively supported

Its a great heater.

that's it nothing that other cpu's can't do better.

get something better.

>>56102478
What a load of crap.

>gets hot fast.
You are aware that only faster Prescotts got to 90W and most of P4s actually had lower TDP? They were nothing spectacular in TDP, back then we just weren't used to it yet. Intel enthusiast chips have higher TDPs. Wikipedia has list of the models, you can check.

>it will max out the CPU and just heat up your house and all the pages will take forever if they run HTTP5 or Flash.
you are lucky I don't have OS installed on mine and can't try it. Possible that some webs ruen poorly, but my A64 3200+ is still usable for browsing, so singlecore P4s can't be that much worse.

>but it runs Dos games the best out of all modern cpus can't find anything better than a pentuim 4 for that shit.
why would it? it was dependent on code bing optimized for it more than any contemporary architecture. K7, K8, later Intels will all be better

>it can also run older OS's better than the new shit and woun't throttle down like multicore processes will when in the OS screen.
WUT

>the pentuim4 also better with IDE, paraell ports and serial ports because its natively supported
yeah, completely unrelated CPU, has all to do with chipset and superIO chip

protip: it is not a problem at all to have a parallel or serial port on current motherboard, and IDE on just slightly older platforms (~ 2010).

>>56094242

They're disappointing under the hood but still reasonably capable. Very inefficient for those capabilities, of course, since they consume only a little less than newer equipment but offer maybe a tenth of the theoretical performance.

>>56105568
2005 flagships would probably be the Pentium D 840 or the Pentium 4 HT 670 (the one and only 3.8 GHz housefire), and of course the Emergency Edition chips but those are overpriced to shit online. Not really sure what GPU you'd want to run with them, probably some dual-chip GeForce 7 abomination or an X series Radeon if you want to go balls deep into the consumer high end. Pair it with 2 GB of RAM and a pair of RAID 0'd WD Raptors and you'll ascend into meme nirvana.

>>56104631
The problem is that it was not the same thing. They didn't "go back to Pentium 3" and Pentium 4 was not "shittty". it was just worse than K8, but hey, in a race of two, only half of the contesters can be fastest, so duh. That doesn't make it shitty.

>>56107631
>That doesn't make it shitty.

But P4 was pretty shitty.

It was literally the GeForce FX of processors, and even Nvidia admitted that it was a shitty series of GPUs.

GeForce FX was 1) worse value, 2) hotter, 3) lower performance than competition.

That sure sounds familiar!
