Did you own a Pentium 4?

Then Intel owes you 15 bucks.

After all these years, the litigation on Intel's faked benchmarks has gone through, and Intel and HP have been ordered to make restitution.

So. 15 bucks, basically, if you bought/built a PC 10 or 12 years ago or so.

Not me though. That was back in my Athlon days (un)fortunately. After the Celeron 333a, I went AMD and didn't come back to intel until the Kentsfield Core2Quad Q6600.

Sounds very familiar. Those celerons were God dawn beasts.

Hell yeah. I overclocked mine to 500 mhz. Which was a big thing in 1997.

Stupid auto correct...

The dual cpu board for them really sealed the deal. You had to run the beta version of win2k to get full use of it, it was either that or try to deal with nt 4.

I went straight from Dual P-III Tualatins to a Phenom II X6 1090T. Nobody in my family used a P4. I wouldn't let 'em.

Ditto except I didn't come from Celeron to Athlon. But was AMD for years until my Q6600 (which is still humming away on my living room PC just fine, though "humming" is wrong, as I have a big after-market cooler on it, which means it's quiet).
