CPU Intel P4 Mobile 1.60 GHz
Is there a workarround to get this CPU started with multipier x16 using it
together with an fx. P4B266 or P4P800SE? |

If you mean instead of the x12 multiplier that SpeedStep causes it to
default to - Nope! Or rather I've not seen one, and I've looked pretty hard for the last couple of years on and off. .....On the positive side - it will probably do 2.4GHz at 800MHz FSB ) (hardware permitting) Pete "N´far" wrote in message . ..

It's a Pentium M, a far superior CPU to a P4. P4's suck, they were just an Intel dead-end that they went down to win the Mhz War and try (unsuccessfully) to out-do AMD.

Go here for mo http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20050525/index.html Of course there have been P4-Mobiles... This page clearly shows the Pentium M is far superior, as you justly point out, but it's still true that the P4 Mobile's DID exist! http://www.upenn.edu/computing/provi...oprovider.html Whole loads of notebooks shipped with those, for example the Compaq EVO n610C. Some have found their way to desktops, as can be seen from the sample the OP has -- Thomas. |

I forgot that some people were silly enough to buy P4s at that speed when they were no better than the faster P3s and used twice the power. The P3s hung on in notebooks a lot longer than they did in desktops too. -- ~misfit~ |

I was stupid enough to buy a laptop (Acer Aspire....) with a P4 - 2500 in it. The thing kept blazing and howling, sucking up energy like I dont know what. I sold it second hand, and for the money I got for it, bought a Compaq EVO N600C. This is a P3-1200, fast, silent, and it lasts 4 hours.... MUCH better! -- Thomas |

The P3 was (and still is) the pinacle of design as far as Intel's history goes. That Tualatin P3 you have is the forerunner of the new Pentium M's, (Banias, Dothan) they're just 'evolved' P3 Tualatins with a smaller manufacturing process, larger L2 caches and a re-designed pre-fetch unit. (And some speed-stepping) . Intel will, very soon, swallow it's pride and drop the P4 range altogether. (That's why it's changed to calling CPUs by codes instead of family/speed, they're hoping to save face). Especially if it wants to do any good in the dual-core market. Can you imagine two 120 watt Prescot cores on the same die? You could heat your lounge with it. -- ~misfit~ |

I'm havig trouble selling off my lovely little laptop ;-) That's a shame. I stopped buying Intel when they canned the Tualatin and I went AMD. Been an AMD man ever since. (Although currently I have two AMDs and three Tualatins running). I may buy another Intel one day if the Dothan or whatever comes after it makes it to the desktop. However I think AMD are just too far ahead of Intel now in the power stakes, the only place Intel have an advantage is with the Pentium M in the portable market. -- ~misfit~ |
