Why Pentium 495

Wrong, most obviously when the disk IO is almost entirely linear. Most obviously with video editing today. Your claim that access...
I'm quite content to have you think that Rod, and plenty of people were quite happy to have a quieter fan instead. Perhaps your subjective opinion of "quiet" means anything less than 30% of the noise a hair dryer produces, but to others if the CPU isn't particularly high heat, quiet would mean "can I hear it without trying to".
I happened to pull out another P3 fan yesterday as it just happened to be within arm's reach and I'd needed a temporary airflow for testing pbuttive cooling a C3 (simulation of a PSU intake flow). The fan was far louder than anything I have running, cooling video cards, overclocked CPUs, chipsets, etc. Pathetic really, didn't even move half the air of fans far far quieter. For the record this particular fan was Nidec-made and rated for 0.13A, and like all the others it's problems were that it was too thin, too high an RPM, bearings and hub too small.
Disagree all you want but more than anything it shows just how little you realize how quiet a system can actually be if you think that era of intel fan was quiet.

There's nothing desperate about plugging in a fan and noticing how loud it is. Same as observed by many many people for many years. All except a handful including Rod. Oh well, I'm done arguing about it because nothing you or I write will change the noise level.
