Well, if we are talking about its overclocking ability, then no, the Pentium (Or Netburst as I will refer to it from here on out) is not "ultra fail", it does its job quite well. In fact the whole idea behind Netburst was to overclock it, or well clock it higher because factory clocking wouldn't be considered overclocking. The Netburst was designed back when there was the massive GHz war and when the more GHz the more "power" your processor had (at least to the average consumer, but thats still the case now because they think higher and more numbers means more performance not taking into consideration anything else like Architecture), so Intel had it made. They made a processor that could achieve a high operating frequency at the cost of its heat output, power requirements, and over all performance. Compared to most other processors of the time (AMDs line) the Netburst (pentiums) were "ultra fail" as they were just super clocked, overheating, glued together pieces of mess.

just upgraded
put a 8800 GTX in the case, and it barely fits. lol, but it works wonders. I used to have 2 6800 gs's in sli, and this bad boy over doubled my score in 3dm06. Now i get over 13k. still havnt cleaned up the wiring though... had to move the hard drive bays around so the card would fit, and just wanted to get it up and running and test the bad boy out first.




might put up some picks later of the computer when the motherboards blue led's are turned on, but i have to go into the bios to set that up.
set up
e6600 @ 3.4 ghz- 40C- air temp in house is ~30C, so its not that bad for air cooling with a 46&#37; OC
GTX @ ~ultra speeds (nvidia wont let you go quite as high on the memory settings.. damn ntune...)
2 gigs corsair DDR2 800- @ ddr2 870
Asus Striker Extreme
320 gig SATA perp recording Seagate barracuda hd.
160 gig Seagate SATA hd.
Plextor SATA dvd burner
zalman 110mm blue led, copper fin cpu cooler (9700 i think)
antec 900 gaming case
neo he 500 PSU (need a new one, 8800 start screeching sometimes in games because it doesnt quite get the power it needs)

All your PCs suck. Look at mine:


That's my ENIAC right there. Weighs 30 tons, fills 2 rooms, and each chip is as big as a hand. Requires re-wiring for every new calculation, but that's technology.

Thats my great great grandfather's media center PC bitch. Beat that. xD.

Wasn't that built by Charles Babbage? Looks a lot like the one in a portrait...

Nice XD
Rep for the both of you!

I wish this was my desktop

I wonder how much that would cost.

I wish it was mine too...

Is that really your desk? Please tell me that's a real SPAS-12! How much do you want for it!? I WILL PAY MONEY!
