Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz processor > Reviews

Advantages: FAST, Retail box comes with fan, sticker, manual
Disadvantages: More expensive than Celerons, AMDs, etc

...well as one of those Intel Pentium 4 ‘Intel Inside’ stickers. If you were to buy an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version of the CPU, then you would not get the box, the documents, the heatsink and fan or the sticker. The warranty would also be a lot shorter. My retail boxed CPU has a 3 year limited warranty, which isn’t bad. Installation of the CPU was the same as any other CPU. First, lift the leaver to unlock the socket so the CPU’s ... Read review

The instructions with their little pictures were useful in describing how to put this processor in. After the ... Read review

Advantages: Fast core clock speed
Disadvantages: Running temperatures

...Made me angry! So the Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz. What can i say? It does what it says on the box for one, core clock speed of 3.2GHz.. This specific CPU has a FSB (Front Side Bus) of 800MHz which really speeds the whole operation of the CPU up but this then needs a motherboard capable of holding the 800MHz FSB. The Hyper threading is a great attribute also, this simulates a second processor and a few other things i dont really understand but it certainly ... Read review
