</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>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.</div>
