So I have a pentium 4 HT 630 that is on some OEM 775 hp motherboard and it has 3 gigabytes of 400 mhz CL3 RAM what to do? I can't use this motherboard since they desoldered PCI-E slot -.-

I want to get a new 775 board (if i can find one) and do something with it :/ It also came with a 250 GB Maxtor hard drive SATA 1.5...

My advice would be to sell it & get any 1150/1155 or at least 1156 socket system.

Make a server but it wouldn't be good, sell all the parts or keep it as a old machine.

Make a retro gaming system. That's what I'd do anyways. (P.S. Pentiums FTW)

I have the same processor in one of my rigs. You can use it as an server for old games like CS 1.6.

Or you can get a different 775 board that supports AGP or PCI-Express and test bottlenecking.

Desktop: Intel Core i3-6100, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Damn, all these reasonable suggestions. 
Just overclock the snot out of it for kicks. (given you're able to.)
That's what I'd do.

Hi everyone nice to meet y'all, I have a P4 HT 3.2GHz and the sad story is that it running in a SFF IBM which barely running on win7 like a netbook that uses Atom cpu.. 

Ive tried running NFSMW the old one on it and just managed to get around 15-20fps ich..

So I was considering to create a new machine but doesnt have enough resources to do so.. and the PCIE slot is the worst evar 

And what I wanted to do is build a retro machine for overclocking competition that is running on hwbot.org which falls into classic category..

any suggestion on motherboard and other stuff ?

My goal is to make it run on W8 or W10 and running Firestrike 3D smoothly like 30fps ++... with a budget setup like they've done in the previous video...

In theory I guess it possible , what do you guys think ?
