  • MSI G4Ti4400-VTD

  • Pentium 4 Northwood 2.4GHz

    2 April 2002, 00:00

    We can't help but feel that the introduction of the 2.4GHz P4 is merely a stop-gap between Northwood revisions, and simply launched to counteract the excellent performance of AMD's XP2100. ...

  • PC2700, Here and Now
