I gave up on old laptops, along time ago. Especially the ones where it was next impossible to access the hard drives. And than some that had Ram under the keyboard. Not to mention all the different size screws on older generations.
Try use Windows 10 32bits, I had tried P4 with LGA775 and with 3GB or 4GB of ram.. should work and I had tried before, but older socket, maybe depends on Hardwares. ATGPUD2003
@atgpud2003 I think people are smart enough by now to check specs, before using any bit ISOs. All ISOs I used are 32bit (x86). On your keyboard, just hold down Windows logo and Pause and it brings up specs.
LOL. I can barely get the thing to COAST from 35-85. nevermind it will overheat or simply freeze whenever it wants to. intel...... I still have one with a bad FPU! (it is very fun using Win 10 calculator on that thing) they do their best with a load at 50-60 on each core at the same time. don't bother if there is a single dead battery cell in it. nite.
The Pentium 4 (and pentium D) is the worst cpu ever made in the history of bad cpu's (besides the old pentium 1 with a bad fpu bug). The performance of a 3 ghz P4 was worse than a 2 ghz AMD. I was a computer tech during the P4 days and I was telling everybody to not buy that piece of crap and get an AMD instead. But no, lots of my friends were like, "But the P4 has more megahertz, lolz." Later on, those same people were coming to me for recommendations on what cpu to get so they could sell their crappy P4's. It's very telling that the "improved" intel "core" cpu was just an overclocked pentium 3. Intel then stuck with "core (pentium 3)" as the base implementation for a long time up until I think the 5th generation I5. I always buy AMD cpu's to build gaming machines and for laptops I prefer intel for their better power management. Intel's are good now, but they keep using stupid "tricks" to try to outdo AMD that only comes back to bite them, and the people who bought then, in the ass later. Most people still don't realize that AMD invented the x64 spec and was a far superior cpu for a long time. I have a super awesome thinkpad with an intel I5 ivy bridge in it and I refuse to update the bios for the spectre/meltdown fixes because it'll slow it waaay down. Stupid Intel and their speedup tricks at work again.
The problem with the athlon/duron was it didn't have a heat spreader and if the heat sink wasn't sitting flush on the cpu it would overheat. So the problem wasn't the cpu, it was the heat sink was mounted incorrectly. I saw that a lot.
