I'll grant you that netburst was horrible and more pain than it's worth but the P4 was good for it's day. The next day, was crap.

Intel said the architecture could take 10GHz but I think 4 was the max they ever got to. Anything after that and your liquid cooling would be steam..

Or was it a coolbag?

Or just designed to look like a coolbag?

Never owned one, so never tried putting any frozen food in it.

Mobile home for inuits perhaps? Haha.

I like old PC's. There's something brilliant about having such a limited feature set and having to rewrite half the program just so you can change the text, colour or just make the blasted thing work. There's a very specific kind of fun that comes from that, an everyday PC will open Word or Photoshop without any trouble at all but an age old P3 will rattle its brains off for 15 minutes before the splash screen goes away. All the ticks and crudely made bits are all what's part of an old PC. Might just be me but I like pushing old hardware to the limit, and then see what happens when you push it even more lol.
