I bought Intel Pentium 4 2.6 GHz three days ago and was impressed with the purchase. Although it's condition is 'used' it looks like a new one. The CPU temperature is normal even when it is loaded. My previous processor was Celeron 2.0 GHz and i want to say that the difference between Pentium 4 2.6 GHz and Celeron is rather big. So, if you have an old motherboard (socket 478) and want to upgrade it i advice you to consider Intel Pentium 4 2.6 GHz as a good variant.
The pentium 4 CPUs and their Duo successors are very disappointing CPUs that tend to overheat very quickly. I bought the 2.6Ghz CPU as a replacement for my wife' 3.2Ghz, which started to overhear to 85 Celsius, with no apparent reason (fan was at 4500RPM and the heatsink and thermal paste were fine). This phenomena has been appearing in friend's PCs as well and the Intel CPUs seem to be plagued by unexpected end-of-life way ahead of schedule. ALL of my AMD-based PCs (I don't buy Intel coz there's no reason to pay 3 times more and get the same results that also overheat with no reason) and NONE of them had ever given me any trouble!
good cpu i use it with mother board 945+pci-express +DDR2 ( china ) if you have good motherboard like this as i wrote you will get "modern" system with low price 800mhz cpu bus + ddr2 800mhz you will can use this cpu when intel press this cpu , at this times before few years a lot of mother board before few years cannot maintain this cpu at now days you can find modern DDR2+PCI-E for 478 socket very good cpu
Works as well as a new one
