Hi prelude bro,long time no see also. Are you having a P4 system too?

yezza bro,
now im searching for P4 system.
with basic hardware also can..
u got extra to sell bro??
i already have lcd..
now searching for mouse,keyboard and p4 cpu.

get a amd sempron 140, it ad zoom zoom faster than P4 lo... run cooler and got warranty some more...

RM110 AMD Sempron 140 2.7GHz
RM190 ASUS M4N68T-M
RM 49 Kingston 1GB D3-1333
RM 99 Hitachi 320GB SATA
RM 60 LG 22x SATA
RM 90 Casing

RM598 only

I sold out mine extra system few months ago. Why you need a P4 system now? It's way too old on the system. Maybe you can look for other better system where it's better than P4 ?

Sempron 140 only have a TDP of 45W
Prescott P4 TDP is more than 80W and slower than Sempron 140.
I will definitely opt for Sempron...

Guys , isit possible for me to revive a P4 system .
Something had gone terribly wrong with that system.

When bootup . The usual intel pentium 4 logo should displayed but it showed 1 black rectangle at the center replacing the usual intel logo.

Dead MoBo or Dead Proc ?
Dont have another unit to test >.<

The sympton you gave is too brief,what you had try to do with your system? Have you try with clearing CMOS?

feeling damn regret upgrading my 478... hope this will be my final upgrade for skt478!!

plz update the list of my item change

Given to my wife--> ckboon - 3.2C @ 3.2GHz | ASUS P4P800-X | Kingstons 1G, Apacer 1G, Kingstons 512Mx2 | ASUS A9550 Series | CM Extreme Power 420W

myself running ckboon - 3.4C(EE) @ 3.4GHz | ASUS P4P800-X | Corsair 1Gx2; Kingstons 512Mx2 | HIS HD 3850 AGP | SeaSonic S12 II 520W

gotta agree with u..

i have tested to change some setting on the BIOS and the RAM reading change.. i change the VGA aperture size also will effect the ram.. and it seem like the board can only be stable to a max of 2G ram.. if more than that, I cant get the actual reading of it..

P4 EE with you. How much you bought with this proc?

3.4EE....legendary chip that 1 is

Bros, can let me into the club? My specs:

3.0E (e0 stepping) @ 3.6ghz (1.285v)/ DFI865PE-AL/ 2x512mb DDR400/ Nvidia 6800GS (450/1200 factory OC ver).

In case anyone is wondering, this is not my primary rig, just a retro toy. Cheers!

Welcome to the club brother,added you in the list.

how to overclock the p4

Increase the FSB of the proc, once it hits a wall (BSOD/restart), increase the Vcore and go higher on the FSB

But of course, not just blindly increase the FSB as you need to check whether you have the option to lock your PCI/AGP bus to 33Mhz/66Mhz and and how high your RAM can go as well. Keep it at FSB to DRAM ratio of 1:1 for a start

Thanks bro!

Oooo, prescott gets damn hot very fast once you crank up the voltage, so you need a good cooler.

Yeah, are you with stock cooler now?I guess you are unable to clock that high with stock cooler.

Not so good lah my cooler, Deepcool Storm Fighter only. With a better cooler I can get 4ghz easy I think.

here is mine
Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.0E 3.00GHz
Prescott
Intel D865GBF
DDR400 512*4
