This Intel Pentium 4 670 3.8 GHz SL7Z3 processor enables an old Dell Dimension 8400 to load Windows 7 pro SP1 64-bit and run smoothly. Direct replacement for original 3.6 GHz 32-bit processor. No increase in temps or fan speeds. With the motherboard, it reliably and transparently supports modern 1TB hard drives (one new data cable required) in a Raid1 array. It supports full use of machine's maximum of 4GB ram. It boots more quickly than Windows XP 32-bit with the original processor. Internet surfing is somewhat slow but smooth and reliable. 64-bit Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents process smoothly and quickly. Very satisfying and inexpensive project.

The used Intel Pentium 4 Socket LGA 775 P4 670 was clean, well packaged, delivered quickly, and functioned perfectly. i used it to upgrade a Dell Dimension 4700 to 64-bit capability and was able to successfully install a 64-bit OS onto the machine after. the thermal paste included was more like a runny cream than a paste and i wasn't sure i trusted it. i wasn't expecting thermal paste to be provided with a used CPU anyway so i did not consider this an issue and i used some compound i already had.

There's not much I can say about this processor... but so far to my knowledge it is the fastest "stock clocked" processor ( meaning frequency clock in Ghz ) ever to come out for the general consumer. All AMD and Intel processors... even the new ones... are all clocked around the 2 and 3 Ghz range, stock. The AMD dual cores, triple cores, quad cores; the Intel Core 2 Duos and Quads, and i3, i5, and i7 Core processors all clocked around the 2's and 3's... And it's been that way for years now... but of course technology advanced and higher clock frequencies were no longer important. And also, almost every new AMD or Intel processor can be overclocked to 3.8 Ghz or more. But the Pentium 4 670 is the highest clocked from stock. My rating is good and not excellent because it is Intel's finest single core processor made, but today it's totally behind the times. (Current common processors benchmark around 6000 and up; the Pentium 4 670 benchmarks around 600) ... [source is from PassMark Benchmarking]Read full review
I installed CPU , I'm using Win 2008 Server Web Edition , the system is running perfect CPU load is 4% under normal working tasks (VC 2008, IIS, SQL 2008, Apache, .Net, PHP and most windows services needed) , system is very fast and very stable. (Take care you will need a good cooler , and sure a power supply over 450w, depending also by other power consumer from system). Roughly speaking I prolonged life of this system with another 5 years maybe. Thanks
Pretty nice CPU upgrade for old Dell 4700. Jumped from the P4 520 to 670 for cheap (used CPU). This CPU is 64 bit capable so if I ever do want to move from XP to Win7, it should work fine. For less than $200, this old box now has 4 GB ram, a 275 GB SSD, a low end PCI-e video card, a PCI-e USB 3.0 card, and this CPU.
