Hello everyone and welcome to a video that I never planned to make, nor did I think I would finish it...But after an enormous response the community post I put out about these little Pentium Dual Core Chips I felt inclined to see it through, so join me as we take one of the original Pentium Dual Core Chips, throw it up into the modern world of Windows & Linux...and then dial things back a bit all to find out just how good was the Pentium Dual Core...and is there anything at all it might be able to do?...Oh and was it as bad as the Pentium D that came before it. Enjoy!

Intel's Pentium Dual Core...It's a bit weird - 0:00
Getting it all working & Cooling Advice - 1:00
Finally getting to Windows..Oh and its slow - 2:40
A Quick look at the specs - 4:40
Trying to load a Physics Test - 5:30
Can it launch GTA 5? - 7:20
Maybe Overclocking is the answer - 9:45

Does it run GTA 5 yet??? - 12:10
Maybe M&B Bannerlord??? - 13:30
Hey it runs CS:GO At least - 15:30
Maybe Linux is the answer - 17:10
Linux is snappier - 18:18
Does it game better on Linux? - 19:00
I have a better idea...Windows 8.1! - 21:30
Oh this is dead fast - 22:45
What about if we add an older GPU - 24:25
Does it FINALLY RUN GTA 5? - 25:50
The Full Specs - 28:33
How much did Overclocking Help? & Comparisons - 30:28
We're finally ready to benchmark - 32:05
The Benchmarks! - 33:18
You know what...That wasn’t half bad for a turd - 43:33
