Masochistic tendencies?
You're looking at a Netburst chip.
The missing Instructions/Extensions from a decade ago are copious:
(AES-NI, CLMUL, FMA3, SSE4, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, TXT, and TSX if Wikipedia is to be believed)
All of that, and you want to see if this thing (overclocked) can actually still play games. I applaud the idea, but I'm pretty sure laying hands on DDR2 RAM, finding a decent board, and starting off so far behind the line is a joke. If you went out and spent a couple of hundred dollars you'd wind up with something better by almost every metric. I start off with this because what is being asked is to dredge up something very few people would have had access to, not asking whether a somewhat dated setup needs to be retired.
Not for nothing, that Pentium D doesn't support turbo, idle, or speed steps. It only has two physical cores (4 threads with HT). Worst of all, it's got a TDP of 130 watts at its stock 3.73 GHz.
With the money you'd save from your power bill in a single year you could likely break even with a whole new system, rather than this "$30 and spare parts" rig. If this isn't for the gamer on a budget, isn't for the enthusiast, isn't for the purist (modern GPU and SSD isn't reproducing what was around at the time), and isn't even an experiment that could feasibly be reproduced as a novelty (read: limited component availability and pricing) then what is this? Other than the proverbial freak show, something to gawk at, I'm not understanding why you'd put the effort into this. Haven't we come to the conclusion collectively that Netburst was a mistake worth burying?
I like you hoffer, but im really starting to get the feeling your not great at parties. Not everything needs a logical motive behind it. Everyone knows this system is going to be slower than 95+% of the systems on TPU, but sometimes you just say fuck it.
