What can one do with a P4 Prescott and a celeron

Pretty sure a P4 fileserver with a decent NIC will outperform the Pi several times over. The USB bus on the Pi is sloooooow.

 

I have a p4 preshot that I use as a Frankenstein dos machine haha it's PGA iirc..

as for the celeron, pump 3v into it and use it as a mini stove or coffee cup warmer about all it's good for haha

I like to call the celerons celery because that's how much power they have hahahahah

 

Windows 2000 was shipped with new computers into 2005.

The Zotob virus was it's nail in the coffin

 

Donate it to someone who can't afford a computer? That's what I usually do when I get something like that.

 

DOS is a different beast. If you can run SATA drive in IDE emulation mode it will run even on the newest hardware available, and with SB Live/Audigy/Aureal Vortex, some C-Media cards etc you can even get a sound and music. In fact i successfully launched Extreme Assault natively with 3Dfx Voodoo on Phenom II X4 955 with 32Gb RAM There's no real reason to do it though - DOSBox Daum build supports glide in Windows/Linux/OS X, and there will be less power consumption (DOS can't send idle signal to CPU and it runs with 100% load, i heard about some kind of CPUIdle for DOS but not sure how it will work on multicore CPUs)

 

You can setup a small pbx for your home.

 

Also Windows 2000 still thought threads and cores on a single chip were discrete chips and scheduled threads in a dumb way for cache-misses galore.
