Why aren't you using a pentium iii?
Because iii don't want to

intel
is
inside
because it's not 2001 anymore
Because Athlon>P3
because I only own AMD Durons and Athlon XPs
are you retarded it clearly says pentium !!!
>>55541199
I did, 15 years ago
>>55541199
Because Athlon is faster:

thank youi

Because the year is 2016 not 1999
>>55541437
The only reason the Athlon was good was because Pentium IIIs were unobtanium, those final run Classics with gimped to shit cache were pure marketing stunts and absolutely awful.
>>55541199
but I am
>>55541199
Because only poorfags and shitters run half-speed secondary cache in 1999.
>>55541437
>>55541503
Athlons weren't good until Intel started dicking around with NetBurst.
>>55541641
I had that CPU exactly, was faster than my brothers P4 laptop with much better specs. Still can't figure out. All I can come up is desktop > laptop
Because it's x86
>>55545840
>P3 was better than a P4 and I can't figure it out
It's because P4s are shit. You can even claim $15 from Intel because you bought one as the result of some lawsuit.
But I am.
>>55545840
What did he have? The first run Pentium 4-Ms were probably gimped to shit, P6 always out-performed NetBurst on a clock for clock basis for pretty much everything but SIMD.
>>55545906
>What did he have?
Don't know the specs now for certain, I want to say it was 2.80ghz P4 Compaq (LOL I even LOLed at the time) he had much better specs on paper than my gimped PIII with mobo/hdd/ram issues.
>>55545972
I can't really see that being slower than one of those, run a lot of PIIIs and P4s alike and the latter does have an edge past around 2 GHz, not to mention much better RAM standards.
>>55545905
Let me give you a example.. My PIII was able to encode video and audio, just as fast as his.
>>55545905
Is that a T23?
I still have a pentium 3 laptop that I use sometimes. Unfortunately it's not very useful for web browsing now because 4/5 webpages are horrible messes of awful javascript and modern web browsers are dog slow, or require SSE2
>>55546025
R30
1ghz pentium 3 non mobile, 1gb 133mhz ram, 3.8gb 4200rpm hdd and 8mb of dedicated vram somewhere in some tiny ati gpu i cant find
runs windows 2000 great, not much else though
>>55541199
Because pic related exists and its more powerful
>>55546035
Can you recommend a Pentium or PII thinkpad?
>>55546045
p3 wasnt autism though
p3 was legit shit
not something you shove up your ass and try to literally shitpost from
>>55546045
I recently tested raspberry pi 2 VS a 900MHz pentium 3 with some SHIT c program that someone wrote, the pentium 3 finished the task in something like 10 seconds while the RPI2 took something like 24. so I guess a pentium 3 is still faster, if you don't need more than one core
Does my original Xbox running X-DSL count?
>>55546064
770z or R30
mines a butchered machine, its not supposed to have a 3.8gb 4200rpm hdd, but for its age and its specs, its ok.
Ive run it with a 5400rpm 40gb hdd i had in another thinkpad and it handles XP and web browsing very well, you can shitpost smoothly
but i left it with what it came with beacuse it feels comfier with windows 2000
the 770z has a 366mhz pentium 2 and most had an 8mb video chip in them, with a max of 512mb of ram though, as theres only 2 slots that support a max of 2x 256mb
but if you're looking for unique speccy posts, thats the route to go
>>55546102
Not a RPI fan but damn that is at the same time impressive and dissapointing. Impressive that a cheap SOC board was able to "compete" with a much hungrier for power system. Dissapointing because in all these years since PIII was launched, that SOC is ONLY less than half as fast as a PIII?? Makes you go meh about RPI
>>55546045
http://users.sdsc.edu/~glockwood/comp/benchmarks.php#arm
RPis are garbage, even the new ones.
>>55546064
Pentium II: 600E (best thinkpad ever) or 770X with 1280x1024 display
Pentium: 760CD, ED, XD
>>55546108
Not speccy posts, but retro gaming machine would be nice.
>>55546108
You'll get fucked by the Pentium II before you get fucked by the RAM ceiling in most cases
t. daily drive mobile PIIs
>>55541787
PIIIs were sucked up by server clusters, they werent unobtainable, and the socketed 933Mhz/1.1Ghz chips were most definitely available to people with the dosh.
Not to say AMD wasnt whooping ass at the time, just get your facts straight.
>>55546557
Old article about it: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2000/04/14/disaster_hits_intel_coppermine_supply/
A lot of those higher-speed Coppermine chips were on-paper releases outside of the high-end for quite a few months after their announcement because of that, and they were comfortably faster than those original Athlons that hit 1 GHz by using shitty external cache running at 1/3 speed.
The later Thunderbirds and Durons are of course a different story, though.
>>55541199
got p4
>>55546131
Yeah, the performance of those things is definitely overhyped. You can't really knock them for their original purpose though, still enough for low-power jobs and as an introduction to development, programming and simple automation.

You might be able to play Battlefield Vietnam on decent settings though anon
>>55541199
I am using a core 2 duo
Basically 2 fast Pentium 3 cores glued together
>>55549723
that's the core duo, core2s are pentium III descendants but they aren't pentium IIIs any more than the pentium was a 486
>>55545561
fucking rdram lol
>>55549841
RDRAM flies from personal experience, daily drove a P4 1.3 with 1 GB of that shit in 2014, it was absolutely fine, definitely better than somewhat comparable hardware running regular SDRAM.
>>55541199
my PIII machine is dead and gone
I still miss the fucker.
>>55546146
>OG raspi slower than a mid-90s PowerMac
yikes
>>55542776
Is it the 12MB or the 8MB V2?
Also, are you running them in SLi?
Rocking two 12MB Creative V2 here and a P3 non-xeon myself.
But I need to find a good PCI or AGP card and a PATA HDD so I can install some Glide games.
>>55549880
>P4 1.3
So literally slower than a P3 1GHz
I had a Pentium iii but it killed itself after discovering I was cheating with a young Athlon X2.
>>55549880
yeah it was fast it was also expensive as fuck.
>>55549921
My favorite has to be the 1996-vintage Indigo2 IMPACT that gets it done in around half the time. A testament to the irrelevance of clock frequency if there ever was one.
>>55549953
Nice, I've just got a single 12MB V2, considering grabbing a second blackmagic to SLI but what I've got feels pretty good already.
>>55549967
Slower than the 933, actually. I benched it once.
I'd like to do a more rigorous comparison some day, I'm curious as to exactly what made it such a great performer despite my expectations.
>>55550015
Those early Pentium 4 systems in general were a poor value, I can count the number of Socket 423 systems I've seen in the wild on one hand.
Doesn't mean some of the technologies themselves weren't respectable from a pure engineering perspective, though.
>>55542776
What does that GPU support? Can you show AIDA64 directX and openGL?
>>55550068
I think I've only ever seen 1, maybe 2 Socket 423 systems, ever. They're rare as hell, almost as rare as desktop boards for Pentium M.
>>55550124
Is there a version that runs on Win2k? I'll totally try it out.
>>55550149
It's strange, too, even though they weren't very good performers clock-for-clock you'd think you'd see some later ones at least when they matched and surpassed P6 chips by sheer brute force, they weren't incredibly expensive.
>>55550210
The latest version (zip package) even runs on win98
>>55550277
Shiiit, I'll check it out then
>>55550210
Nah, I think the reason why we dont see many S423 systems was that intel was already trying to drive the clocks of P4 higher and they found that the socket couldnt handle the power draw, which alongside the complete clusterfuck that was RDRAM, prompted the switch to S478.
>>55541215
>>55550277
>>55550286
There was quite a bit to the OpenGL section.
It also didn't shit itself quite as badly as I expected, definitely not like Speccy does.
>>55550306
True, it was also on the market less than a year and spent that time as a high-end product, but still, I've seen some really rare shit out there, but I see it more often than S423.
