WoW....new version....I haven't been here for a long time d....

how is everyone with their trusty pentium 4s??


@apecx92,

those P4 brackets can be bought in lowyat plaza...sri komp, IIRC...

now i know,it p4 bracket thanks

but no one selling here?lowyat i tired..lor

i send it to shop for troubleshooting, coz after a few days the pc couldn't even boot up. mobo is confirmed faulty. dont know whether to get a cheap 2nd hand replacement, or might as well just get a newer platform 2nd hand set, maybe like 775 or AM2

dlwl: It is time to change

ravewar: My trusty old P4 ES still working fine

hi all,p4 478 user reporting in..

@shinjite : gonna start hunting for stuff at garage sales already

@alg : welcome what p4 spec are you using?

i got the dfi 865PE for sale

DFI 865PE is a ATX mobo isn't it? looking for a m-ATX mobo instead

anyone tried to put 4x1G ram to p4p800-x? bios reading is less than 3G. Used cpuz and it can detect 4096MB, but system property only written 2.96G for both XP and windows 7.

any fix for this?

If its Windows 32bit, you will get that

old one bro ,p4 478 1.8 ghz,overclocked to 2.18 ghz (IINM)

ckboon - 3.4C @ 3.4 | ASUS P4P800-X | Corsair 1Gx2; Kingstons 512Mx2 | ASUS A9550 Series

waa,all high spec one,using 2gb-4gb ram..

me using 1gb ram only..damn siput

maybe you can get another 1gb from garage sales and add

For Windows XP, use 2GB enough~~
My P4 running on Windows 7 with 4GB RAM also still feels slow haha

yeah, 2GB is more than enough i think, unless you do a lot of intensive tasks
slightly OT, i wonder if it's OK to run 7 on 1GB ram
anyone here tried before with their P4?

Bro, mine 4GB also slow adi with FX5900XT hahaha
Windows 7 built in benchmark, I got a solid 1.0 (lowest adi)

haha..i'm tempted to run 7 on my AMD x2 now, although with 1GB. So if can get any feedback from P4 users here, can roughly know what the performance will be like.
If still using P4 i dont think i'll run on 7
