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 2.53GHz & Intel D850EMV2 Motherboard.

Final Comments

The Pentium 4 2.53 GHz FSB 533MHz is a nice evolution of the Pentium 4 architecture that obviously beats, in terms of performance, every competing CPU. It provides heavy applications with a wider and faster bus that significantly increases performance. However the best performance will be clearly achieved with a memory that can sustain the flow of data that goes through a 533 MHz bus. Actually the Rambus 800 isn’t able to totally gulp down the stream of data the Pentium 4 2.53GHz delivers, that’s why, technically speaking, the Rambus 1066 is highly recommended with such a processor. But this kind of memory is actually extremely rare and as a matter of fact very expensive which is regrettable. 

The Intel D850EMV2 is, as usual with Intel, a rock solid platform. Stable, full featured, the D850EMV2 even comes with a USB 2 controller which is a must have if you want to use all those new exciting high speed USB devices that are actually appearing. Even if I regret that the i850e chipset doesn’t include the new ICH 4 component, it doesn’t impeach the i850e to remain the best top notch chipset ever made for the Pentium 4 delivering stunning performance.
