Cedar Mill
The final revision of the Pentium 4 was Cedar Mill, released on January 5, 2006.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_4
The shipping guy here at work has a older dell with a 3.0ghz +HT P4
Sometimes I stand there for a second, When I need to run some questions by him...
Anyways back 3 years ago this machine was at my desk, but i ended up building my self a Hackintosh,
2.5ghz dual core Celeron OC'd to 3.0 ghz.
As I was saying, The shipping guys machine just appears to be super fast, To where I notice everytime.
Granted he is running Windows XP, just banging through the windows. I Swear he doesn't have to wait even a millisecond, just bang, bang, bang.
7,8,9 tabs open in chrome, our crappy inventory software, Excel, Word, Outlook, Google Docs.
Pretty sure it only has 2gb of ram DDR2 Dual Channel.
might have a 500 gig seagate barracuda sata hd in there.
It just always seems like this machine is the fastest one in the building,
even faster then the owners Nehalem, 2.9 ghz i7 machine.
I'm thinking I want to get the fastest production Cedar Mill, and experiment with one of those Cooler master 212 beasts and see how far she will go, then maybe install xp / 7 / 8 and run some benchmarks.
Maybe throw Tiger on there, I think that is far as i can go on the mac side. Not sure if I can do leopard with the P4.
Anyone here ever OC'd the snot out of a Cedar Mill?
