Roadmap for P4 400 MHZ

I was planning to upgrade to 2.6 (that's what my mobo supports), however, the prices got locked at $200 lately for 2.4 and 2.6 and they seem to be hard to find everywhere. Will Intel (or have they already) stop manufacturing this type soon? Should I go ahead and upgrade now? It probably isn't worth the money for the trivial performance increase. The biggest factor for the P4's speed has been bus & ram bandwidth. If you want a faster computer, you'll probably need a new one. For future upgradability potential, the AMD path has been less bumpy in that regard. Sorry, but I have to disagree that upgrading from 1.8 to 2.6 is a "trivial" increase. Furthermore, I like the stability and compatibilty of Intel processors. Thank you for your reply, though. |
