Pentium 4 extra core?

you would need the following

new motherboard
new video card
new ram
new processor
new case

a new friend to install them


it would be cheaper to buy a new computer.

unfortunately pentium 4 was good but not no more is more like what you should be calling your self

just feeding to see if it bites

nom nom nom




You can't really add a core to an existing processor, you would need to purchase another one.

Unfortunately if you wanted to buy a processor that would be worth buying, you would need to upgrade the motherboard because of the socket. If you upgrade the motherboard you will need to replace the ram, because motherboard that support the newer sockets would take DDR2 or DDR3 ram. If you upgrade the motherboard then you would need to upgrade the video card because changes are you would need a PCI-E not an AGP.....


uhhh.. long story short....

For a new processor, you need a new Motherboard. However getting a new motherboard would force you into getting a whole new everything else.

Google 'Troll' and read the wiki on 'Troll(internet)'

yeah...new computer time, especially with a P4 and AGP

By an extra core, and get out the sewing machine and have at it, voila, stitched together two-o-core

Just make sure you sell it as a two-o-core, not a duo core, as people might not believe you

How much will this sewing machine cost? Is it hard to use? I don't want to damage my motherboard. But I do like the sound of a two-o-core!

WHY IS EVERYBODY CALLING ME A TROLL? ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I'M STUPID? I HAVE A LEGITIMATE QUESTION :@
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU----

This thread is amusing to say the least. Anyway the thing is, your computer is pretty old. P4s have been out of production for some time so you're not going to get a new one for your system at a reasonable price. First of all, without knowing all of your specs (especially on your motherboard) we don't know if your motherboard will even accept a faster CPU. For one, we don't know if it's socket 478, or LGA 775. If your board is 478 then your choices are pretty limited. If it's LGA 775 then your choices will depend on BIOS updates from your motherboard maker. If the board accepts dual core Pentiums then you could probably get on on eBay.

If your board is 478 though there isn't much hope. Any CPU for such a board that would provide a significant increase (like a 3.4 EE northwood), is hard to fine and probably costs more than a cheap AM2 motherboard/CPU/RAM combo which would be much faster.

it was a sowing machine i just missed a e off the end on purpose

hence so winge machine but then again no one got that either. oh well back to rednecking me cousin or something

OO Must get two-o core

See, the french duo is part 1 and part du.
Sometimes life is boring, so in this thread, Im hoping to get people in stitches

Say wha !!!! ( the wha is in a higher pitched tone than say )

If he is a troll then so be it.
If he aint then so be it.

But some people do not understand the fundermentals of how pc architecture works and therefor need to be told on what limitations there are of what they expect.

If this person is trying to wind people up by making stupid remarks then " well done", now go home and fiddle with a cat.
If not then this person deserves the respect that this is not his field and needs help getting to where he wants to go.

Little knowledge is a dangerous thing and either way little knowledge would be the case.

get a cheap motherboard that has atleast 800 fsb so your can get like a 60 dollar pentium dualcore at 2.2 ghz and then your computer will go faster, also get 2gb of ram.

fangirl, was that the time you attempted to write a program for the sewing machine itself? You know, the one where if the CPU max load hit 100% the sewing machine would turn on and automatically sew another core on to help with the load? ...yeah that didn't turn out too well...

this is going to sound horrible but on my way home the other night i passed by a car that had the back window sill filled with those little gem troll things... reminded me of this thread...

Ooo, with an Apple core, you wouldnt have to worry about viruses. Very nice.

Or shouldnt that be worms?

fail...

This made for a good read at 12:30 AM.

1) buy 2nd pentium 4
2) place on top of 1st
3) smack with mallet until they deform.....I mean form into one
4) place back into motherboard and force it to fit <------may take some work
5) turn on machine and watch the show
*note: especially useful if you try and pair a Socket 478 and a 775. Your new two-o-core is now a socket 1253 which just screams speed

I think you'll find it's much easier than that...

Nicer finish too.

Please do not dig up old threads, especially with such pointless drivel.
If you had cared to read this thread before posting, you would have seen that not only is it three years old, but it was totally pointless to begin with.
