The processor is capable of addressing up to 4 GB of RAM. Chipset / motherboard limitations may make the possible max for a system less than that.
The Intel Pentium MMX has a theoretical maximum of 4 GB of RAM. Realistically, no Pentium motherboard is going to support that much.
Theoretical, it should be 3 GB, cause the CPU has the 32 Bit architecture, but there is no motherboard for a Pentium 2, which supports 3 GB, I believe max a couple of hunderd only.
Intel.
Yes
no it does not you idiot it uses a frickin amd CPU not Intel. gosh
Yes, but it must be with one of the same type. EG, you can swap an Intel Pentium 3 1.5GHz with a Intel Pentium 3 2GHz, but not with an Intel Pentium 4 2GHz. Also, it must be the same socket type.
Pentium D was the first dual-core cpu.
Pentium 4
Intel manufactures the Pentium CPU brand of microprocessors. Intel stands for Integrated Electronics and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
It's often difficult to compare the performance of two processors, especially when one is much older. Depending on the type of computations you are doing, you may see anything from no change to a 1700% increase in the Pentium D over the Pentium III.
The Pentium 4 got it's name because it was the next series of Intel's flagship CPU line after the Pentium III.
The Intel Pentium bug was an issue with the Floating Point Unit (FPU), which is a section of the processor that performs floating-point calculations.The FPU bug only occurred on earlier Intel Pentium processors, which Intel replaced with fully functional processors.
Pentium 4 vs. Dual CoreThere are MANY differences between these two generations of Intel CPU's. Most notably, Duo Core CPU's possess two processing cores opposed to the Pentium 4's single processing core. While a Duo Core CPU may be operating at a lower overall operating frequency, it is still much more powerful then a Pentium 4 considering it's improved FSB speed, cache size, multiple cores, efficiency, etc.
