Disgruntled Pentium 4 Owners Can Get a $15 Settlement From Intel - Polidicks

Darnit I have a pc from 2005 with a Pentium 4 in it

FFS, own a pentium 4 PC here, but not in the US, so, I get no refund? WTF?

Ha! I knew keeping around my old tower would pay off someday! The thing still works pretty well, too

[QUOTE=Cold;46380028]The workstations with the Xeon cores had some crazy cooling setups to get it stable at 3.4ghz. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/06TieHa.jpg[/IMG] (Case sized fan for each core, a huge radiator and a air tunnel) With a setup like this, the temprature would idle at 70*C get up to 90*C under load, the TJMax of the Xeon(and mobile) of the Pentium 4 series was pushed too 100*C. They bought a whole bunch of them at my dads work originally intended as Workstations, but later used as servers instead because of the incredible amount of noise the fans made during the constant 2k RPM.[/QUOTE] That picture brings back so many memories as a kid re-seating the RAM on my dad's office PC just so I could play Roller Coaster Tycoon.

[QUOTE=laserpanda;46380417]Strangely it only applies to new computer purchases, not people who just bought the processors themselves. I know I have a Dell from around then. I want to say it had an AMD in it though.[/QUOTE] No, if you bought the processor alone you still qualify. I know this is a bit late, but I sent in an email about the matter and what I was told today is [quote] Good Morning, Yes, if you custom built a computer using an eligible processor you may file a claim in this matter.

Damn it why did I toss all my Pentiums

Hmm what a coincidence. I'm actually building a tinker PC with a Pentium EE 965 (3.73ghz Dual core + HT, one of the last Netburst chips released) to see how the chip handles a modern multithreaded workload. Games were mostly single threaded when this puppy came out so they really didn't take advantage of the full potential of the chip. For the sake of science I'm going to overclock the snot out of this chip in an Asus Maximus II Formula and see just what it can do. This is what I do when I'm bored.

looooool I just got the check I completely forgot about this

Shit son where do I get this.

[QUOTE=L'Citizen;49474021]Shit son where do I get this.[/QUOTE] You had to do it by April 14, 2015 so unless you have a timemachine to get that $15 your out of luck :v:

Got it, used it to get a mayflash.

Didn't touch Intel with a barge pole back then, only bought AMD. Now it's the reverse.

[QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;46379091]couldn't the pentium 4s OC up to 5Ghz or something[/QUOTE] [img]http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/imagebank/news_8ghzitaly.jpg[/img]

Awesome! I've still got my computer from 15 years ago that being said i've still got my computer from 20 years ago.
