Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: Super fast 3.2 GHZ 512KB HT/800 FSB, runs cooler than prescott.

Weakness: Pricey, but no regrets.

I put this processor in an ASUS P4C-800 E motherboard with 1GB of corsair twinx 3200C2 ram, and ASUS 9600XT/TVD Video Card. This CPU has to be my greatest upgrade to my computer because it blows my 1.8 ghz 400 mhz fsb/256Kb away; highly reccomended processor. Although the 3.2 E (prescott) has more cache (1mb), it uses more watt (104 watt) which generates more heat than the northwood (82 watt). A...

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: The fastest CPU for the money, once you factor in the cost of memory, motherboard, etc.

Weakness: Runs HOT with included Intel heatsink and fan

I've built two systems so far with the 3.2C and am frankly amazed by how fast this thing runs for the price I paid. My computers are used in a rendering farm 24/7 for CGI special effects creation (LightWave 7.5 and POV-Ray, mostly), and the 3.2C tears through video frames at a most gratifying speed. Very reliable and fast, especially when mated with a good motherboard and memory like the Abit...

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: 800mhz, Hyper-Threading

Weakness: HUGE fan/heatsink combo

When added with a pair of Corsair DDR400 SIMMs and an 8xAGP video adapter, some of the fastest spreadsheet, desktop publishing, gaming and picture editing I have experienced so far. The heatsink isn't only very big, it's really heavy.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: Competitive performance.

Weakness: It's expensive. But, when is the latest and greatest ever cheap?

The 64-bit argument is simply all hype for now. Will the changeover happen? Of course. But, by the time support is there for all things 64-bit it will be several years from now (or more). It isn't just the OS which needs to be updated when true 64-bit arrives. Applications, games and everything else will also have to be updated before true 64-bit computing happens in the consumer market.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: Hyper Trading, FSB 800mhz.,3.2Ghz (top in the market)

Weakness: abit pricy. But it pays off.

I'm glad that i owned this product. It is awesome and great speed. Also it has the FSB 800Mhz which makes my computer super fast and more data flow. Hyper Trading technology which build-in in this chips make me feel like doing everything at one time without crashing my computer.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: Fast, Reliable, Great for Gaming, Intel.. need I say more?

Weakness: None

This CPU ROCKS! I found the best price easily with Price Grabber and was happy to see that my favorite vendor just happened to have it the cheapest. I bought this CPU for gaming and it kicks butt!

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: Extremely fast,the hyper threading is excellent. Photoshop flies with this new processor.

Weakness: No weaknesses so far.

I have been using AMD processors since 1999, finally switched over to Intel P4. Boy what a difference, this new 3.2 is a beast. Programs and installations fly. Processor is extremeley reliable and stable. Haven't had any problems yet, but this is because its coupled with an excellent Asus board.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: Speed and well priced.

Weakness: Slighty outpace by some of AMD's new chips.

For two hunderd dollars less than the 3.4 GHz chip you can't go wrong. I've overclocked this chip by 5% and it runs super stable. I'd recommend this processor to any gamer out there that wants a high performacne chip! Intel chips in my opinion are the best way to go. 64 bit computing is still a ways off in the distance. Go Intel!!!

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: Fast reliable with good installation documentation on Intel web site.

Weakness: None

Fast processor with Hyper-therading Technology and good performance. Some new versions of software are making use of this technology. I would recommend this processor to anyone look for speed. The price has come down.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor

Strengths: Hyper-Threading Technology

Weakness: Price

However I did buy this immediately after the price drop. Never put a rig together before, but was a piece of cake. I now have a very nice/fast machine.
