When I get a Conroe? I'm going to overclock my Pentium D to like 10 GHz with no heatsink at the highest voltage I can get. FUCK my motherboard, and if my PSU happens to go then too . . . well . . . it had a good run.

I would think massive price cuts to clear it, I think they'll still manufacture a few more (relatively speaking). It is not a bad chip by any means, it's just not as good as AMD Athlons or Core (1 or 2) architecture chips. If I could get a high-end Pentium 4 (preferably a 600 series and 65nm even better) for under £60 I would not be at all unhappy (though my SFF plans would go out the window).

You will need higher voltage for that. I sugest you to directly plug in the CPU on 220V. I guarantee that you'll achieve at least 50Hz.

I'm dousing mine in gasoline and burning it, along with the fried mobo.
Like they do here?
I'm thinking of taking the old peice of s**t prescott that i have and hook it up to a bottle rocket. A-10 bottle rocket they shoot before they explode! :twisted:

I'm sure P4s will be eventually phased out sometime after Core 2 Solo appears. After all Intel will need to trim it's product line to reduce cost, and produce more Conroe CPUs to bring down it's average cost per unit.
When will they release a Core 2 Solo?

What happened to 939 after AM2 was released?

:roll:
It's still here.

So whats gonna happen to the Pentium 4 after Conroe is released?

We finally get to bury the Pentium name.... every time I hear the word Pentium I think of the time I was a computer salesman, and these hicks would come in to my store any say "Do you got one of them there Pendulums"?

Now instead of asking for a Core 2 Duo I imagine them saying "You got one of them there Core Duels"?

The Intel Penis 4" is the best Intel ever got up. That being said Conroe requires Viagra to get up!
Yeah, then it never goes back down...ouch! Conroe's gonna suffer from premature computation. It's done, before it even gets started.(Fast) :wink:
