What do you mean... it's easy to find used P4 systems... and most LGA755
motherboards had PCIe slots.  The Pentium 4 was around for a long time,
especially if you include the Pentium D (which was just a dual core P4
chip).  They were releasing new models from 2000 to 2008, and selling at
retail until 2010 or so when just about every vendor finally switched to
Core processors.
