### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New life for an old Dell B110
*by R***S on January 16, 2013*

I was very reluctant to throw any time, effort, or money into a 7-year old machine that was obselescent at time of buy in early 005. This dropped in and posted just fine. I was lucky and got an excellent speciment at ~ 25.00 that was marketed as used good, but was almost certainly new - other. This processor also supported boosting the RAM speed from 333MHz to 400MHz, and of course, hyperthreading.This was added to replace an anemic Celeron 2.53, and we quad'd the old school DDR RAM from 512kB to 2GB and added some groovy blue-LED'd fans. An aftermarket CPU cooler goes on this weekend. They haven't made these for many years, so I want to do everything I can to protect this baby. If you have a Dell, it almost certainly has a proprietary HSF bracket that is incompatible with any aftermarket coolers, so make sure to pick one up. This processor also supported boosting the RAM speed from 333MHz to 400MHz, and of course, hyperthreading.The computer had been reduced to a dust bunny inhaler that was scarcely fit for even email or the lightest of web browsing. It is now more than adequate for browsing, video watching, and even Open Office spreadsheeting and WP'ing. Man that RAM beef-up makes save times for even (relatively)large files almost instantaneous.For less than $75(maybe up another $60-ish to $135 if I add a PCI rev none video card and replace the PSU), we managed to kick the replace-our-secondary-computer-can at >= $350.00 down the road for hopefully another 2 or 3 years while better technology becomes obsolecent and therefore more affordable.The kids are actually fighting again over time on the reinvigorated Dell, and it feels good to have saved money and landfill space too. If you have an old socket 478 machine, this CPU could really make for time and money well spent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pentium 4 3.06Ghz Northwood cpu with Dell dimension 2400
*by A***H on July 12, 2024*

I had an old Dell dimension 2400 with a similar cpu clocked at 2.8Ghz (1 core 1 thread) and it constantly lagged even on windows xp sp2specs weren’t that bad, it had 1GB of ram and a GeForce4 MX 4000 128mb pci as well as an SSD. but in task manager the CPU was always at 100% usage. With the new 3.06Ghz hyper threaded cpu (1 core 2 threads) performance has definitely improved (needed to use extra thermal paste to fix the “thermal event” error) otherwise I can now use XP sp3 and average percentage for task manager is around 25-55%

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brought my old PC back to life
*by S***N on August 31, 2013*

I have a PC that I built back in 2003. I'm still running Win2K on an ASUS Black Pearl motherboard. It was running great until recently it began to reboot itself. After scanning for evil Trojan worms and replacing the RAM, it still kept rebooting within a minute of logging into Windows. Finally, I replaced the old Intel 2.4GHz cpu with this Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHz, and now my machine is back in action! No more frustrating reboots interrupting my work. I also ordered a new heat sync. They both arrived in less than a week. So far, it has been running great. So I fixed my machine, and got a little upgrade as well.
