PL-P4P   ** discontinued as of January 1, 2008 **

Allows 533 MHz FSB "Northwood only" Pentium 4 systems to upgrade to "Prescott" Pentium 4 and Celeron D processors!

 
PowerLeap breaks yet another upgrade barrier with the introduction of the PL-P4P!
Many Pentium 4 systems have a maximum FSB speed of 533 MHz, and these PCs may now be upgraded to a maximum of 3.20 GHz, with higher performance and a significantly lower cost than hard-to-find "Northwood" Pentium 4 processors.

Benchmark comparison:

* System tested:  Dell Dimension 2400 with 512MB memory; ATI Radeon 9250 PCI VGA card.

Popular systems that have already been certified as 100% compatible with all versions of the PL-P4P upgrade:

Dell Dimension 2400
Dell Optiplex GX260

Note:  Not compatible with the Dimension models 8200/8250/4500/4550 due to deliberate barriers placed by Dell and/or Intel in the BIOS.  You may want to express your feelings to Dell about this.  Many other models are very likely compatible with the P4P but haven't been upgraded yet, so we can't be 100% sure.

The P4P is sold with an attached processor, due to manufacturing requirements. 

The P4P simply replaces your current processor with Intel’s next generation of technology. Pull the old processor out, put the P4P in, and you are ready to go.
