P4 Cedar mill or Prescott ?

[kesler]

Any help on P4 3.0 cedar mill or Prescott core for business build?

I would recommend getting the Cedar Mill core. The Prescott is honestly a mini nuclear reactor (Prescotts are infamous for heating up A LOT). You'd be much better off with a Cedar Mill if you need a Pentium 4.

However, Pentium 4's are old technology now. If this wasn't a business build, I'd wholeheartedly recommend a Core 2 Duo.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I've been told there is no need for a core2 duo in this build because of the power use.
