Hello,
I have an old Intel Pentium 4 Prescott 640 @ 3.2 Ghz (Single Core w/ Hyper-Threading) and was looking for opinions for whether or not I should put it to use.
CPU Specifications: http://ark.intel.com/products/27480/Intel-Pentium-4-Processor-640-supporting-HT-Technology-%282M-Cache-3_20-GHz-800-MHz-FSB%29
If I choose to use it, I only need to buy a motherboard (approximately ~$55), I have enough spare parts lying around to build it. I was wondering it was worth it or not to spend the money just to reuse this CPU...
The parts to be used in the system are:
MSI G41M-P28 MOBO (~$55)
Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz RAM 4GB (2x2GB)
XFX 9600GSO OC 512MB DDR3 GPU
Western Digital 80GB HDD
Apevia X-Trooper Jr Case
Apevia 450W PSU
Thanks
