Well it did come back as the Core Uarch which was a mash of Pentium M, Netburst and a bit of new tech. Netburst was not all bad it did have some good features buried in the core and they moved these to the Pentium M core and threw is a few new ones and well the rest is history.

This then carried Intel a long damn way . .all the way through Skylake.

Pentium M was just the shot across the bow, it was Core 2 Duo that sunk my battleship. E6600 was my first intel processor.

Core 2 was amazingly good, my favourite bit of kit to tinker with.

Pentium M CPU's are great overclockers. A nice thing about the rarity of desktop boards for these is that the CPUs are still (or at least were, I haven't checked lately) pretty cheap. I was able to buy the 780 I have for a little over $20.00 IIRC.

Weirdly the 400 FSB high multiplier parts are expensive now.

I was going through my collection of boards that need a recap and found a P4C-800E rev 2.0 non Deluxe. Was excited for about 5 minutes until I realized I couldn't get the CT-479.

Oh, maybe I should look into getting some more fun than the 735A for my CT-479/P4C800 then ... (not even sure it the 735A will run in that)
