The Pentium 4 1.5 GHz processor takes computer users a step ahead by offering them an incredible resource of power designed to meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s multimedia applications and games. Investing now in such a system is surely too expensive but will let users stay on top with a powerful PC for a long, long time before software programs indicate a P4 1.5 GHz as the minimum system requirement. With such a system 3D gaming, video or audio editing, and internet surfing will be faster, attractive and more pleasant: imagine if you can rip Audio CDs into MP3s faster than ever before, compile a whole DV film in shorter time, kill your Quake enemies even before they appear. More power also means faster loading times for most of your software including Windows but it also adds new possibilities for advanced multitasking work. With this new architecture promising to evolve in the future for more power, Intel has really marked significant progress over previous processors. The Pentium 4 performance will get even better when most software will be compatible with it in the upcoming months. With the birth of the Pentium 4, Intel has set the computer world into a new technological era.
