Intel Pentium 4 - 2.80A GHz Processor

Strengths: Large cache, easy to install

Weakness: difficult to keep cpu temperature down

Had to install additional case cooling fans to keep cpu temperature down below maximum levels. AMD comparible processors are cheaper to purchase with same or better performance. AMD processors do not have the same cooling problems as the pentium IV.

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.80A GHz Processor

Strengths: Faster than the predecessor. Easily installed.

Weakness: Is only compatible with newer motherboards.

Had the Prescott 2.4 and decided to upgrade. No problems with this processor. Easily installed by someone like me who is not all computer literate.Faster than the Northwood. Put this in a server and it works fine.

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.80A GHz Processor

Strengths: great speed, reliable. never had a problem with it.

Weakness: none.

This is probably the 10th Intel Pentium 4 CPU I've purchased and I've never had any trouble with it. If you're going to buy something that's fast and reliable, always buy Intel. I've purchased AMD before and I haven't been happy with it, it had some compatibility issues and it doesn't even compare with Intel. Sure, you can do all the benchmark tests you want but when you use it in the real world with actual applications and games, Intel has the upper hand. There's a reason why the other CPUs are cheaper.
Also, if you're thinking about buying a Celeron vs. Pentium 4, definitely go with the Pentium 4. The Celeron is reliable but it lacks speed. (it's like Diet Pentium 4 :)

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.80A GHz Processor

Strengths: Price and speed.

Weakness: none (so far)

This processor was $100 more at a couple of the local retailers. I can't complain about saving that kind of cash. Noticeably faster than my 300mhz P2. It got to my house faster than some of my programs would take to open on that dinosaur. Zipzoomfly 2 day shipping rocks.
