Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: The fastest CPU for the money, once you factor in the cost of memory, motherboard, etc. Weakness: Runs HOT with included Intel heatsink and fan I've built two systems so far with the 3.2C and am frankly amazed by how fast this thing runs for the price I paid. My computers are used in a rendering farm 24/7 for CGI special effects creation (LightWave 7.5 and POV-Ray, mostly), and the 3.2C tears through video frames at a most gratifying speed. Very reliable and fast, especially when mated with a good motherboard and memory like the Abit IC7-G and Corsair TWINX10243200C2PT. 95% of readers found this review helpful.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: 800mhz, Hyper-Threading Weakness: HUGE fan/heatsink combo When added with a pair of Corsair DDR400 SIMMs and an 8xAGP video adapter, some of the fastest spreadsheet, desktop publishing, gaming and picture editing I have experienced so far. The heatsink isn't only very big, it's really heavy. 93% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: Competitive performance. Weakness: It's expensive. But, when is the latest and greatest ever cheap? The 64-bit argument is simply all hype for now. Will the changeover happen? Of course. But, by the time support is there for all things 64-bit it will be several years from now (or more). 93% of readers found this review helpful.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: Hyper Trading, FSB 800mhz.,3.2Ghz (top in the market) Weakness: abit pricy. But it pays off. I'm glad that i owned this product.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: Extremely fast,the hyper threading is excellent. Photoshop flies with this new processor. Weakness: No weaknesses so far. I have been using AMD processors since 1999, finally switched over to Intel P4. Boy what a difference, this new 3.2 is a beast. Programs and installations fly. Processor is extremeley reliable and stable. Haven't had any problems yet, but this is because its coupled with an excellent Asus board. 88% of readers found this review helpful.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: Speed and well priced. Weakness: Slighty outpace by some of AMD's new chips. For two hunderd dollars less than the 3.4 GHz chip you can't go wrong. I've overclocked this chip by 5% and it runs super stable. I'd recommend this processor to any gamer out there that wants a high performacne chip! Intel chips in my opinion are the best way to go. 64 bit computing is still a ways off in the distance. Go Intel!!! 87% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: This is a fast processor. Only the 3.2 Extreeme Edition is better (more cache) but this processor is $600 cheaper! Weakness: Expensive still IMO this is the best choice for building a screaming gaming PC. Intel is still the big boy and industry champ. The comparable AMD chip is more expensive and just not worth it. 85% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: Very Fast, Great for multitasking. Weakness: Nothing I'm building a new computer and I decided to go with something that will not be out performed in 6 months or so. I decided to go with this processor because the extreme edition was just priced WAY to high!!! It works fine in my computer, I was very impress on how fast my computer is now compared to the one I have now. I have no negatives feedback on this product. Totally recommended. 79% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: The fastest around. Run it at compatible board with HT enabled and 800Mhz. FSB and you got your selfs a great system. Weakness: I did not like the whole heat sink apparatus. Intel good go a little better with that. There is a lot of heat sink solutions on the market and I might consider one later on. I had to go with this processor. With an ABIT IC7-Max3 mobo, 1G of Kingston memory, ATI Radeon 128 Pro and a SATA drive from Seagate, what else could I use. I am very happy with this system. I would highly recomend this processor to anyone who is looking for nothing but the best. Well, you can go with the new chip from Intel but over $1000 is a little steep for me. I got this from AccuPC for $395, not bad. 79% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: Extremely fast processor. Weakness: none An excellent processor from Intel. Processor is very fast and runs most applications with ease. I would recommend this product for gamers and power users. Also, the 800Mhz Front Side Bus is a plus for getting more processing power from this processor. Processor is fast enough to last for years. 78% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: Fast, Brand Name, Good For Multi-tasking Weakness: not 64 bit, small 64kb L1 Cache, only 512kb L2 Cache, ruins future upgrading This is a good chip, if you want to buy name brand Intel, i have the AMD 64 3200+ along with this chip. The Amd is just as fast, but will be able to operate a 64 bit OS in a year, which the Intel processors will have to operate in 32 bit. If you want to upgrade to an Intel 64 capatable chip, your gonna need a new motherboard, cause Intel plans to make a different socket for their 64 bit cpu's to fit in. Overall the Amd is a better deal, and leaves you with the ability to upgrade in the future. Plus the amd boasts a L1 of 128kb, and 1024kb L2.Oh yeah, 1600mhz fbs. 77% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: FAST, what else exactly can you say? Weakness: 32-bit Let me first say that I bought this knowing it would be outclassed by 64-bit processors, I wanted the fast chip right now. But other than that, I've tried to make this computer use 100% of the processor, and I have to be rendering, using Photoshop CS, and gaming BOTH America's Army and Uru to make it slow down. Speed is terrific. That's about all you can say- for the right power for the right price right now, this is the right chip. 62% of readers found this review helpful.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz ProcessorStrengths: weak comparing to $$$ Weakness: too expensive, Athlon 64 better deal more power This is the best AMD has to offer and it for sure beats Intel's hyperthreading technology. Another thing, it's beginning of a new generation of computing...no more 32 bit for me!"You need a 64-bit OS to take advantage of the 64-bit technology. 41% of readers found this review helpful.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.20 GHz Processor
Strengths: Super fast 3.2 GHZ 512KB HT/800 FSB, runs cooler than prescott.
Weakness: Pricey, but no regrets.
I put this processor in an ASUS P4C-800 E motherboard with 1GB of corsair twinx 3200C2 ram, and ASUS 9600XT/TVD Video Card. This CPU has to be my greatest upgrade to my computer because it blows my 1.8 ghz 400 mhz fsb/256Kb away; highly reccomended processor. Although the 3.2 E (prescott) has more cache (1mb), it uses more watt (104 watt) which generates more heat than the northwood (82 watt). A tip when buying this processor is to consider buying 3.2C (Northwood:512KB) instead of 3.2 E, because it is much cooler and thus performs better.
The stock Intel fan is not a good performer, so it is highly reccomended to buy a new CPU cooler; I am using Zalman 7700 CU which runs at 22-30 degrees.
