i moved on from 478 too long already, forgot if got sata port on 478 board or not but i think should at least have sata I port right? anyway can also add in using pci card like sonic said

you serious about the RM1000 prize money?

I have just replaced my PSU recently too. Old Acbel i-power was having serious voltage instabality cause my system cannot run well in o/c condition. 12V and 3.3V drops seriously while loading.
Yeah, your CM750W psu is capable to handle SLI and Croesfire.

I'm very sure that my previous rig had a SATA port. The only problem is that it only supports SATA1 which limits the SSD speed to 150MB/s .My old rig was a P4 2.4C with a MSI board with a intel 865 chipset and it was running a 80GB Maxtor HDD with a SATA port.

Well, P4 is running snappy with Windows 7 with 2 GB RAM
I bet Windows 8 should be okay without the eye candy

Guys, my ATI 2600XT failed me finally. My legendary P4 is now retiring officially.
I have my P4 3.2GHz, Kingston RAM(2*1GB and 2*512MB)and mobo(Abit IC7-G) to let go cheap. Let me know if anyone is looking for spare parts for your P4 system.

Not sure if this thread still alive or not after seeing one post in 3 years. Anyways, here are my custom system which purchased on 2002/03, can't remember the exact timeframe.

CPU: P4 Northwood 1.8GHz with stock cooler
Mobo: MSI PM8M-V
RAM: 1GB DDR1 (512MBx2)
GPU: ATI Radeon 9250 AGP 4x/8x
PSU: Standard 300W

Planning to sell off cheap as well. I'll post at Garage Sales soon together with my other separate old PC components. If anyone interested can look there. Thanks.

Hi there, this thread could be use for info sharing. Thread is still alive but I guess there are very few P4 users around as most of them shifted to another platforms.
Is your rig still running now?

I've dismantle all the parts and put them into a box few days back. They are still working though.

Hahaha, I am also a Pentium 4 user, but i dun actually understand what are those name @@ I'm quite new in this field. What are those at the first column? like "3.0HT @ stock" what this mean?? @@

CPU: P4 Northwood 2.66GHz
MoBo:i845G-W83627
RAM:DDR 512MB & DDR 1024MB
GPU:Standard VGA graphics adapter (I wonder what the heck is this)
PSU:AVF PS500-FV12

This PC works for 10 years already haahaa... consider long life PC? LOL

It means it runs at 3GHz at stock IINM.

Long life but slow.

Owhhhh, got it! Thanks by the way haha.

Ya, it work slow like a snail hahaha.

RAM is not enough for your system. You can see difference with a 3GB RAM setup.
