I recently painted a computer that I restored to a light blue or cloud Gray color. Is a 2009 compaq SR5710 that was black. Around the mid and upper 2000s was when computers were no longer painted tan or light Brown like they were in the nineties and early 2000s . So I wanted to recapture some of that light color energy, so I sanded down my computer computer and Re imagined what a light color could be, so I used .some furniture rated paint paint and now I think it looks pretty cool.

1:53 into the video the BIOS screen clearly shows the CPU speed being detected as 1.4 GHz...This is weird as I don't believe there ever was a consumer board released with hardwired CPU speed limit. Since this is obviously an OEM product it might be that the BIOS is an OEM version also with some pages and setting hidden. What most likely causes this mis-detection is the Intel SpeedStep function turned ON in the bios settings without means for the end user to turn it off, the aforementioned hidden page. If that is the case then windows about page should mention SpeedStep as being ON. There are utilities out there to switch it OFF even for OEM BIOSes. The feature itself is useless and If I'm wrong then this is one seriously weird board with an artificial limitation that serves no purpose...

A Core Duo or Core 2 Duo from a couple years later would cost a similar amount to purchase nowadays and would use about half the power. Pentium 4s legitimately are room heaters, it’s not hyperbole like it can sometimes be. Partially because they don’t usually underclock while idle like a more modern chip, so it’s consuming maximum power all the time.

I am also interested in this too and also wondering its performance under windows 10 as well. On 7, I personally suspect it was fairly slow and only upgraded to 7 due to xp losing support. As for having aero, I doubt it, it was probably just used in basic or classic mode due to its age.
