Final Results And Overall Mark
Well we
have reached the end of the review. Here are
my
final
comments, notes and grades for
Intel
Pentium 4 2.4GHz.
Final Comments
How It Grades |
Installation:
90%
Performance: 95%
Price/Value: 60%
Overall:
81.6% |
The
Pentium
4 2.4
GHz widely outclasses its predecessors as well as competing Athlon CPUs.
With this new model that doesn't differ from the Pentium 4 2.2GHz apart for
the frequency, the Pentium
4
breaks, once again, a speed record setting the bar higher for its
competitors. The Pentium
4
2.4
GHz CPU is an excellent but expensive buy for owners of Socket
478
motherboards that want to upgrade their computer to get more power.
Nonetheless purchasing a brand new system built around the Pentium
4
2.4
GHz would be regrettable since it won’t offer any processor upgrade
possibilities due to the upcoming arrival of the new quad pumped
133
MHz Pentium
4
that will require new motherboards and memory.
