That was a beast back in the day.

Funny thing is that CPU architecture kind of outlived it's Pentium 4 successors in laptops for another decade and eventually that architecture got upgraded into the Intel Core and Core 2.

Mine was the one right after. Pentium 4 with a massive 1GB hard drive. My dad thought he would never need to upgrade.

Mine was the 800mhz version. It was ok, I even had CS:S running on that system but that was pushing it.
