Ol'skool 2004 P4 still feels pretty fast and smooth. Plays anything from it's era- Far Cry, FEAR, HL2, LOtR:TBfME, etc at 1280x1024 max settings. 4Ghz capable but the rise in voltage and heat required is not worth it, so 3.6ghz @ stock vcore is what it runs 24/7. Before you ask- no this is not my main rig. Just an old system that is still enjoyable to own and use.

My P4 3.0E rig also still feels pretty snappy but the last game I played on it wasn't exactly a great experience even with a X1950Pro 512mb AGP.

I voted 10/10 because:
