Only later Intel made boards that worked with Core 2 chips and that's mostly because Core 2 series were a hack job and needed chipset to make it work as a single CPU. Also Intel made socket 423, socket 478 and socket 775, after Pentium 4 more or less became obsolete and first boards only supported up to Pentium D. And while Intel didn't switch sockets so fast, they made them incompatible. Despite that, I still appreciated that I had something like it, even if for a little while.Ĭlick to expand.Phil's Computer Lab did a lot of good benchmarking about Pentium 4, Athlon 64, Core 2 Duo, Quad, Athlon X2 and etc. I can admit that I wasn't interested enough in that specific era's gaming that I would build computer just for it.

I only used Windows XP with it, so OS wasn't a problem. It was way too slow for web browsing and for almost anything else. It was a good idea, but in practice it was only okay for old gaming, beyond that it's an useless machine. But admittedly I have learned that there's not much merit from building period correct computer. I may have not needed to replace that computer with FM2 build. I really can't diagnose and repair boards, so that computer was eventually replaced, but it would have been nice if eBay boards would have worked. I had some nice 2004 hardware for that build: My own DFI K8T800Pro-ALF at first had RAM slot dead, later became temperamental, until it couldn't boot anymore. MSI didn't show any signs of life, Asus was showing BIOS splash screen, but couldn't enter it. And I bought what was supposedly tested and working.īTW I was looking at socket 754 boards and first eBay board was some MSI with via K8T800 chipset and second was Asus with same chipset, maybe K8V Deluxe. I have bought two boards from eBay and they both were dead, didn't even turn on once, didn't even enter BIOS.
