lil help with ageing p4

[John_Denver]

will i got a p4 running at 1.1 or so socket 423. its on a crapy 845 mobo which uses the 133 sdram. what i want to do is take my p4 and put it on a mobo that uses the rdram. so guess iam looking for some advice on which mobo to buy. like i said the cpu is the 423 pin. or should i just give up on it and scrap the cpu and mobo for a amd running ddr? looking for the cheapest way heh.

The best scenario would be to get a 478 CPU and mobo w/ RDRAM. You could also move AMD, not a bad option either.

For what it's worth, I'm ordering an Abit TH7II-RAID, P4 1.6A and some RDRAM when my tax return gets here.

BTW, there was no P4 1.1, they started at 1.3.

BTW, there was no P4 1.1, they started at 1.4.

Actually, there is a 1.3GHz P4.

Like I said, they started at 1.3 :tongue:
You're right, I forgot about it because they don't make it anymore.

Yes, and see I left the line at the bottom so people wouldn't be confused this time around. I learn from my mistakes. Well, sometimes

yeah my bad 1.4 heh. i found a 850 that takes a 423 and has the faster mem mobo on pricewatch for about 100$ and about 70$ for 256 mem.

The problem with going with a socket 423 mobo, is you'll never be able to upgrade the CPU (unless you want a higher 423, which is kind of pointless now that Northwood is out).
