a comment intel pentium d processors.
hey all, just a comment about intel pentium d processors. i know that these are old and lots of bad are said about them but i have several desktops with them in and have never had any problems with them at all. all of them seem to idle in the 50s and under load with prime 95 from 60 to 70 degrees c. all of these are with stock hsf. i know these run hot,however they seem to be able to run at these temps without problems. i have ran the thottle watch and none of my appear to thottle down. never had any lock ups on any,no BSOD. they run vista and windowos 7 well and fsx well. yeah they ain't no i core but IMO they are a solid processor. i don't get why everyone says the bad. mine all came in desktops that others had thrown away so mine are free. perhaps that is why i have no complaints. i have intel and amd so no fanboy crap here. i think people forget that if it weren't for processors as these we would not have what we are able to buy today. just my opinion. poorgy
