The Intel Pentium 4 divides opinions! But no doubt it was a commercial success. It faced fierce competition from AMD at the time.

Now the Pentium 4 is old and ignored by most people, but it makes for an excellent Windows 98 Retro PC! In this video we will talk about the history of the Pentium 4, build a Retro PC around the 1.4 GHz model, install Windows 98 SE, driver and run some benchmarks. We have some classic games as well to bring back happy memories!
