| 294055 | 2004-11-19 23:09:00 | Grrr... I sacrificed a free Xmas drinks function to sit by my PC for an auction on Trademe finishing at 10.30pm last night, only to lose by not accepting an offer quickly enough. The auction in question was a P4 3.4 EE (478 pin) which had not been used and was an unwanted price. Reserve was $1,000. I was highest bidder at $650, and while I went to make a drink, it was offered and accepted for $750. I'm not a happy camper. :( Lo. |

| 294057 | 2004-11-20 01:29:00 | P4 EE are rubbish anyway, they overheat too much or something | agent_24 (4330) | ||
| 294058 | 2004-11-20 02:16:00 | Yeah - Intel were actually thinking of not mass producing them because of the heat issues. | HadO (796) | ||
| 294059 | 2004-11-20 02:40:00 | Sorry, but in auctions, thems the breaks. There are always tears before bedtime in any auction. I always put my best price then if I miss out, I don't care because I could probably not have ~ either afforded it, or it wasn't worth what it finally went for! You will probably end up with something better for less money. |

| 294062 | 2004-11-20 02:54:00 | How do they compare to the XP 3400 64-bit? It's just that the above can be bought new for $649, which is a lot cheaper than the ?comparable? Intel equivalent. George |

| 294064 | 2004-11-20 04:20:00 | Pick up a cheap Celeron D, they perform alot better than the older Celerons, still the bain of mankind but not as bad as before. They overclock pretty well aswell. Me sits and waits for george to start waffling about his celeron |
