Can a pentium 4 play 1080p video on its own?
I remember I had choppy 1080p playback with my P4, but I didn't know as much about optimizing performance back then. I know it could do it with the aide of a cheap GPU.
/g/ is for /g/aming OP
>>55402456
maybe MPEG-2
>>55402556
fuck off
>>>/v/
>>55402577
You can't do anything about it.

>>55402456
Athlon X2 or GTFO
>>55402456
how is life in poorfag land? butthurt that you can't afford a decent cpu?
>>55402537
later ones probably could desu
messed around with a VAIO with a 3.2 GHz Prescott a while ago and it was a nice experience overall
>>55402456
Dam, tech sure does advance fast. I can still remember at how excited I was when I bought my GeForce 8800 and now look at it, it can't even beat jewltel integrated graphics of today.
>>55402713
not really nearly as far as it used to though, the 3.8 GHz P4 can probably still run a lot of 2016 software without issue, definitely couldn't say the same of a Pentium 133 when that chip was new
>>55402712
I had a 64 bit P4 with hyperthreading and it could not play 1080p youtube videos without stuttering.
>>55402822
that's because YT's player is inefficient garbage, you get far better performance redirecting video to an external player
>>55402859
Yeah, I could play downloaded youtube videos through mpc-hc and get a lot better performance, but anything with a higher bitrate than yt would still stutter.
With GPU acceleration I was able to play a little better things.
>>55402456
ECC support?
>>55402979
Lots of workstations out there that support ECC
>>55402713
only twice the single-core rating in performance
top kek, AMD
"ater ones probably could desu

I found a Fanboy!
I think he wants it in his P4 pipeline
>>55402456
But how do the new Atoms compare? If you're going to use weaker hardware you might as well use something smaller and cuter instead of a full tower.
>>55403508
>wanting a lobotomized netbook when you can have a real computer instead
>>55403723
There are Atom based SBCs now days you know.
>>55403766
>wanting a lobotomized smartphone when you can have a real computer instead
No, currently using Pentium 4 631 and it sucks. Youtube lags, x264 when i multi task, dont even wanna talk about 1080p or x265.
>>55403789
If you're limiting yourself to an old "real computer" that the SBC may run just as well as then what's the difference?
>>55403289
>Netburst
>>bursting nets with his fangasm
>>55403932
If they're both the same then there's no limit, famalam
For real though, fuck SBCs. Ugly garbage, and if I cared that much about saving two cents on my power bill I would just buy a low-end notebook with long battery life and charge it at a coffee shop.
I use a Pentium D @ 3GHz with 2GB of DDR2 running Debian/Windows 7. Still gets on the internet and I added a $20 nvidia geforce 520 with 1GB of video RAM to play HD videos.
>>55402456
Yeah. It will run AutoCAD or inventor just fine.
>>55402456
what about kvm?
>>55402598
Computer parts are so completely cheap nowadays that there is no reason to use a Pentium 4 unless you are a faggot.
You can buy a Core2Quad for like 10 bucks. Get an LGA775 board on ebay for 30 bucks and 4gb of ddr2 800 or 1066 for like 20 bucks and for $60 or so you have a much much better computer for almost nothing.
>>55404482
I don't really see C2Qs that often, but even at $50 it's still true if you're just looking for the best that you can get.
I still like and enjoy my farm of space heaters though, and there's nothing you can do about it.

They were such good chips. I imagine they'll last decades too.
>>55404937
I have a Q6600 build at my parents house, still works like a charm
>>55404937
I'm shipping one off to my Grandma to replace her Pentium D, I almost want to keep it, it's good shit.
I'm sure my current Nehalem Xeon will probably see me into 2020 and beyond though.

I remember when Microcenter had them for $100 under retail. Dad and I got them to replace our E6600s. I loved that thing. Ran brilliantly at 3GHz too with almost no difference in temperatures.

Maybe for a hobby machine, try running a company where you need to crunch large amounts of data and you don't want your staff sitting round waiting on results.

>>55402456
P4's were SHIT even when they were the latest thing.
Athlon 64 wiped the floor with them
>>55402456
Can those things run at less then 12 watts and have support for low power states while doing packet analysis in software + running a network?
>>55408549
Athlon XPs wiped the floor with them, Athlon 64 was just the icing on the cake.
>>55407861
>FX9590
nigga pls...
FX was never relevant except for cheap virtualization features.
FX9590 is just full retard multiplied by full retard.
I use only a thinkpad t60 that has the 32bit only core duo. It works for everything I do.
>>55402456

P4 Expensive Edition owner here.
All you need to know:
>865G chipset is SATA 1 ONLY
>AGP graphics cards are shit
PCI graphics cards can decode 1080 but fuck that
There exists out there a 945G board that has socket 478, they show up on ebay for next to nothing now. they also have PCIe and DDR2-667 support. I'm sure with some RAM overclocking one could get it close to 1:1 with the P4. it would probably be an interesting experience to see what a P4 could do with such a board.
now, that being said, a P4 cannot game well. if you want to play older titles, maybe.
but here I tell you this: Netburst is slow, Netburst is NOT energy-efficient, but goddamn does it scream reliable if you don't have a cucked cap plague board.
I had to replace the hard drive with an SSD in a late-model P4 box, that ran a building's door security system. we bought a couple spares of the same motherboard in case anything ever happened, and all of them were low-ESR poly caps. the original board is still on electrolytics and has been running for 8 years now, chugging along, even faster with the SSD. never writes to it, just runs the lock system from RAM.
>>55408567
I think what you want is more of a 2W TDP quadcore Atom Z3700 series CPU. Z3735F at the least, up to the 1.83 variant I can't remember the number of off the top of my head.
>>55404477
Yes it stands for /gaming/ technology
>>55402456
>>55408853
>>55408870
Also, threadly reminder that the Atom made use of Netburst's Hyper-threading tech quite a bit before it debuted on the Core i Series.
Daily reminder that pic related is all you'll ever need
>>55408912
that doesn't look like 640k of RAM.
that be some fuckin gameboy lookin chip.
get that handheld bullshit out of my sight, Sinclair!
>>55402456
So what's the benefit of this to say a Core2Duo which is just as cheap but runs on mobos made in 2009
>>55404482
I bought a used i3-3220 system w/ front panel card reader, DVD-RW, 4 GB 1600 DDR3 and an HD 5570 for $100 CDN. Also came with a 250 GB HDD but I chucked it.

1080p you want to say
>>55409299
j1900 can handle 1080p streaming, it might take 100% CPU but it'll work
>>55409483
lower than 20% with hardware acceleration

Athlon XPs only wiped the floor with Willamettes.
Northwood P4s wiped the floor with XP.
>>55410160
True, i keep forgetting about the higher clocked northwoods even if i have a 3.2 one around here somewhere.
One hell of a good cpu for the time.
Willamette should never have been released to begin with, P3 Tualatins beat them in anything other than memory throughput.
