No one needs over 4gigs of ram.

Currently it just collects dust, is there anything interesting I can do with it?

You can do what all the other people with P4s do

run newer things on it and watch in amazement as the CPU tries really hard and your utility bill goes up

I thought later P4 supports x64.

It's not a Pentium 4 but my other torture device uses one and I unironically like it, they're surprisingly usable for a lot of what I do
>>59583290
I end up dedicating that kind of stuff to old games or file archiving roles most of the time, it's nice to have an XP box around to extract things like drivers stored in 16-bit self-decompressing packages or to test out old DOS shit for emulators or real metal
>>
>>59582918
I have a G40 with one. Its really comfy and i can watch 780p stuff using streamlink. My G4 iBook kills it though when it comes to general browsing because of TenFourFox's use of Altivec.

>>59583459
You'd run it up better playing games on the 95-200W housefires we run today while we gawk at the typical 65-80W chips we were running 10 years ago.

>>59583460
Only certain LGA775 P4s can do this

OP is probably of the younger variety and too lazy to google stuff before posting about it

Pentium 3.08ghz
1gb DDR ram

Ati HD3650 agp

STILL use it for playing Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4 MW, FarCry 1, Half Life 2

Looking to build faster XP compatible machine for the rest of the COD series.

I'm sad?

Is that even playable? My 4200+ and 3850 have a little trouble with those games.

Only Mid to high, no ultra settings, no HD, no anti-alias in COD4 MW. Slowdowns with smoke particles.

Apart from that, great. Looking to build Core i3 Ivy Bridge machine to replace it.

What resolution though? I'm a bitch so I wont go lower than 768 but prefer 1200.

About 1200-1400. 1400 and above the P4 chokes

On a real CRT I hope, not some scaling disabled LCD bullshit. My display is a 915FT.

>>59582918
I used a P4 for a minecraft server a few years ago, someone left the computer by a dumpster at my job so I got it for free.

Overall though in comparison to current times the P4 is really inefficient with energy and pretty slow.

It's being phased out by efficiency and cheaper prices, but if you're a poorfag it's an okay chip to roll with. I don't even remember what I did with that PC before I moved, I probably just threw it away honestly.

I want to go back to cool desktops and things. Late 90's and early 00's tech when people were still taking risks with design to see what worked was the best.
