What sockets has Pentium 4 had? I have a 1.7 dell with rambus downstairs an i am ondering. Silly rambus.
Me thinks you've probably got a socket 423 or a socket 478.
423 were the originaly P4 sockets but they didn't last very long. I have a socket 423 with a P4 1.7GHz processor and 2 x 256 PC800 Rambus sticks in it too, but that went to my son a long time ago.
Apart from these two it's just the LGA775 which is current.
is there any way to tell apart from counting? Would i be able to passively cool a 1.7? I was thinking about making a server, is that powerfull enough?
I would get a new case as well cause it is actually falling apart lol
Its got 256mb of ram and a 7200 HDD (i may use it as a NAT or something so i could just plong some new HDDs in)
I need to think of more uses for it, is it powerfull enough for a media server? (to stream music and video to tv or hi fi with a wi fi box attatched)
what for - powering the space shuttle, splitting the atom, file serving ??Quote:

by NAT I assume you mean Network address Translation ? if so what has that got to do with harddrives ?Quote:

Only you can really answer that, depends what your doing, how many users, what you want it for etc etc.
In the media server suggestion you make - your CPU is not going to be a bottle neck, as your in reality just file serving (unless your decoding TV on the file).
Your ram is lacking for a nice full Server class OS, more so if your going to be using the server to buffer data (such as the media service) .
you real bottle neck is going to be the wi-fi card
NAT= Network Attatched Storage.
That would just be file serving?
Would 512mb be good?
What Mb/s is mpeg2? Im guessing alot, so mabe just for music. (if i go with the media server, or can i has it as NAT and a media (music) server?)
Should be enough AFAIK. Friend of mine has a fileserver with an Athlon 1GHz, 384MB RAM and a few 160GB IDE hard disks.Quote:

Also I am pretty sure Rambus was Socket 423 only but I could be wrong.
You could easily stream MPEG2 (DVD quality anyway) over a 10 megabit connection with a slower cpu tham a 1.7Ghz P4.
NAT = Network Attached Storage? :inquisitiQuote:

lmao, its all the same in my book, its cause its ATtatched, i get confused. Do i need to upgrade to 512mb?
Probably not.
