Since my old images are gone (I have it on server without SSL), I'm re-uploading my car. This is my daily driver/family/only car 😁 2003 Toyota Corolla TS hatchback, in USA known under XRS badge (though in USA it was only available in sedan form).

I have to disagree. In my opinion, best value budget card in history is without a doubt ATI Radeon 9500. Possibility to get more than twice a performance (with softmod and OC) for half a price of its bigger brother is just unbeatable and we will never see something like that ever again.

Got one of the last non-SMR 4TB WD Red in state, to offload some data from my NAS. WD has replaced it (WD40EFRX) by "same" drive, but with SMR (WD40EFAX). Thanks, but no thanks.

Yeah, I don't really like old beige cases, so I'm building everything in modern black ones. This way I also have easier times getting Gotek/optical drives in right colors. And I can do at least basic cable management instead of just stuffing all cables inside the case (although as I mentioned …

Since my first "retro" PC was such a overkill and kinda pointless for Win 98 use (it was really geared mainly for XP use), I told myself, that this time I'll try to make actually 98 build, with reasonable specs for this OS. So, which parts I used for this one? MTB: ASRock K7S41GX CPU: AMD Sempron …

So, few months passed, and there's another (small) update. Since I build another retro machine (and this time I don't even need to use quotes :), and needed few parts from this overkill build, I updated OP with current specs. Mainly, I changed PSU for Corsair VS450, and IDE DVD-ROM for IDE DVD-RW. …

You still can run Steam under XP with some workarounds. But as you said, that could stop working any day, and then your results wouldn't be comparable between each other (XP vs. 7).

Yeah, you just need to use latest drivers from Creative site, because Win 10 1903 update broke previous ones. But otherwise it's working perfectly fine, I'm using one in my main rig.

Are you playing on that FX CPU or some different one? Also, do you already update to Win 10 1909 (if you're using Win 10 at all)?

Suit yourself. I refuse to buy a laptop without user-upgradable RAM or storage. And no gimmicky high resolution displays that scale down. I'm there with you, problem is, that even Lenovo with their ThinkPads T-line is distancing from user upgrade-ability more and more (only one memory slot is …
