| Notes on Intel RK80546PG0801M |
- Bus frequency is 200 MHz. Because the processor uses Quad Data Rate bus the effective bus speed is 800 MHz
- The part RK80546PG0801M is an OEM/tray processor
- The part BX80546PG3000E is a boxed processor
- This processor is labeled as Pentium 4 3.0E. This is done to distinguish this part from Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processors with different set of features.

Great buy
I got this processor in a dell back in '04. Granted I only use the computer for home (e.g., no demands such as gaming), haven't had any issues, and is very fast computer considering it's now going on 4 years old!
Cool running CPU
I don't know what you guy's are talking about I 've got a 3.0EGhz.After I drilled a couple of 3" holes, attached some wire grills in the back and side, applied some Arctic cooling MX-2 Thermal grease It turned into a cool running machine. Idles at 39C 36C if have my window open.
Well, I don't think "will not burnout even without a heatsink fitted" is correct. According to the specs above, the minimum dissipation is 53.68W, so it would fry quite quickly even with a heatsink, if the fan stopped working. AFAIK 152 deg F is about 67 deg C, which is about the temperature my friend's Prescott reached even with a working fan, however his PC has now stopped working, I suspect the CPU is fried.
Prescott...
Had this in my Dell inspiron 9100 laptop, it ran WAY to hot so i replaced it for a pentium 4 northwood, I lik the fact that it has HT which shows the virtual core aswell in the performance manager. HOT! Very hot, uses up lots of watts. Pretty damn powerful though =p Good for playing latest games (World in conflict, Hellgate: London, Crysis and Timeshift!)
Yes i would recommend it for DESKTOP use.
Heat build up - But Great Processor
Correction - The processor was running ar 152 degrees, not 112, When it blew out. Yes, the pocessor is older but a lot less expensive and runs great for home use.
top chip
mixed with a properly set up dual channel ram motherboard with large case, better fans and 500watt power supply gives great preformance. when fitted with wrong fan/heatsink or case may appear to run slower than expected due to the chips ability to throttle back 50% when cpu temp gets to 69C a great saftey feature but one that causes problems for the user when the heatsink fills with dust or the case cannot supply enough cool air it will run slower but it still runs and will not burnout even without a heatsink fitted it will just run very slowly
old, inefficient
A 2.4GHZ Conroe chip will blow it out of the water, each core is more powerful that the p4 3GHZe
Heat build up - But Great Processor
I have this processor and coupled with DDR 400 memory it had excellent performance. I was using the Intel heat sink and Fan. The combination is not sufficient. My processor was running at 112 degrees and before I could change the fan the CPU gave out. I will be purchasing another SL79L (3.0E GHz) and use an improved 3rd party heat sink and fan and hopefully I can get the temperature down to manageable levels.

I say,"Don't get this". It runs way too slow, for its size, in my opinion.
