Why are you not using a Pentium III?

>>61034567
...because there are newer, better processors out right now?

You mean ryzen?

Who says I'm not?

Technically, all Intelfags are using a Pentium III in this very moment.

>>61034673

Technically, all Intel and AMDfags are using an 8086 at this very moment.

>>61034567
Bit I'm using Pentium 4?

>>61034803
>Pentium 4

How's your inferior IPC housefire treating you?

>>61034803
Upgrade to a PowerPC 970 and watch your house melt.

>>61034818
Actually it's a Pentium 4-M and I'm currently installing gentoo on it.
>3h in and still no usable OS
>>61034856
Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into this and install Linux from scratch on that.

more like a fast 386 with 64-bit extensions, but from an internal design perspective modern Intel chips certainly do have a fundamental similarity to P6 designs, but to act like they're still Pentium IIIs is intellectually dishonest and shill-tier shitposting, that shit died with Yonah

The underage arrived.

was pentium 3 before intel botnet or was that pentium 2?

>>61034964

Intel botnet started after core2

>INTEL ACTUALLY DISHONEST

desu these processors shoulnd be called Xeon, they should be called Bentium iii enhanced edition.

wait.......

>he doesn't know about the pentium III processor unique ID

Was the Xbox the biggest game changer for console hardware?

>Celeron/PIII equivalent
>HDD
>Nvidia Ti 4200 equivalent (or 3xxx)
>720p some games (Amped looked like a next gen game)

It was definitely a massive step forward

>>61035299
Xbox was the first modern console.

>>61035299

It did start the trend of consoles just being locked-down PCs, yes.

>>61035388
when were they ever not, consoles have just been shittier low-cost personal computers from the beginning

>>61035388
Well the lockdown part simplified the need for RAM and HDD capacity

The Xbox still needed more RAM to really last. It only lasted 4 years. The GPU was great (like GeForce 3 Ti 500). DirectX 8.1 was a huge part of it, since many of Microsoft's third parties could support it.

>>61035487
I would say the Xbox was the basis for Havoc physics and video game physics in general. It did get an HL2 port that I played and enjoyed.

Visually Doom 3 looked fantastic, as did Halo CE and Halo 2.

But I am. I found one on the roadside a couple of weeks ago that I installed Windows 2000 on. It's some Compaq Deskpro from about '99 with 256MB RAM. It works perfectly.

>>61035480
I'd argue that the extremely unique hardware that older gens had made them not shitty pcs

>>61034567
I still have one, but have no reason to use it.

>>61034567
Why are you not killing yourself?

>>61034567
Anyone using a intel core or i series is just using a heavily modified pentium 3 rn

How can you even live with yourself?

>>61034567
fuck off with that CPUID shit

>>61034567
Here's a better question:
Why there's no Pentium V?

Because I'm using a Pentium 2.

>>61034567
But I am.

I dick around with my T43 with its Pentium M processor, which is pretty close to the P3 as Intel went back to the P3 arch for M after the P4 housefires. It can practically do most of what I do on my T520.

>>61034567
Because it's old.

But I'd like to take this opportunity to hand it to the Pentium II.

That CPU was a strange one, CPU was built into one big plastic casing and inserting it on the motherboard was like plugging in a PCI card or something.

REGARDLESS, The Pentium II is hands on the CPU that I used the longest. And by that I mean really, really long. I never actually had a desktop with one, I got a computer with a P2 cheap around 1999. I set it up as a home NAS/Firewall/Web server. It just sat there doing it's thing for 9 whole years. Never used any other system that long.
