intel p4 question

[baseballplayer217]

is there a better cpu than this one for about the same price i would like a p4 with ht also what is a good reliable and very compatible motherboard for this one or any other cpu you recommend

 

[Cromewell]

Since Newegg doesn't seem to have any P4Cs, that is the best you can do for that price.

Going the way of socket 478 is old techa nd being phased out, i suggest looking into lga775, also with the pressy 478 they had many heat issues.

ill sell you my rig if you want

 

[baseballplayer217]

Those heat issues could easily be controlled with an aftermarket cooler.

hehe, i'm sure he will appreciate the offer. But lets keep sales to the for sale section and PM's

 

[98vert6spd]

ill send you a pm


the heat issues of that chip are easily controlled by my
silent tower

idle at 33
when OC to 3.6

they are not that hot ive got one running at 29 degrees celcius on the reference heat sink

This one it better:

not the best but works good and you can save up later for a good video card.
This mobo gots the windows 64 drivers just incase you go that way.

dont get that board its a micro atx. im assuming you have a midtower or fulltower case then you want to get a atx motherboard

 

[sho95]

AMD64
don't just post what not to get with out saying why you should not.
baseballplayer217 never said what plans he had for this system.

he did, he told you to get a atx board.

true but your suggestion of an micro atx was as equally preemptive of the information and amd's

If you were going to upgrade, i would defo reccomend LGA775. The older 478 boards dont support DDR2, SATAII ect. Im going for a future proof build, so splashing out the extra pennies on the motherboard now, saves doing all that upgrading in the future!

 

[ilovefishsticks]

what kind of video card do you have, agp or pci-e. and what kind of ram are you planning on using. and hdd too, SATA or ATA. all this will have to be considered to know what mobo you want.. o yea and odvously it has to be socket LGA775 to match your processor.
