ive tried multiple xp drivers for the chipset and none of them work, giving me the same "The file nvrd32.sys is corrupted. Press any key to continue." error for every driver. i also managed to find windows 2000 drivers on nvidias website. but when i download it, it gives me a "confirmation.aspx" …

so for about 3-4 days now ive been trying to get windows 2000 onto a gateway dx 4720-03, but im running across some issues first of all the power supply has 1 molex connecter. this means i can only have 1 ide device at once (and i have no SATA to molex adapters) so i can either have an ide dvd drive …

ive been looking around for the last 2d card but I cant find much info, maybe you guys can help no limitations really, it can be vib, pci, idc as long as it's 2d

pretty nice pc, i especially love the case i would probably put 2 gigs of ram in though. it would make web browsing less of a pain though i dont think an athlon xp would be very practical for web browsing anyway

pretty nice ive wanted a core 2 extreme for a while now but theyre expensive as shit

holy shit thats a nice build

what candle said get a 6800/6800gt instead, it will beat the shit out of that crappy 3450 ( just make sure you have a decent power supply ) i have 2 3450s and i cant even get them to run hl2 at over 30fps even with a huge overclock all the other parts look great though

probably dosnt count as retro but i installed windows 7 on this old socket 775 gateway using the built in raid controller also my first time using raid

what about fallout 3 that game ONLY works with xp or vista whats the point of even getting that game on steam then

probably the psu or ram i pulled an old iinspiron 531 out of my barn iafter it was in there for like 5 years it wouldnt even post put in some new ram and it worked just fine

Hi Another idea I'm having is build an XP machine, but I don't really know if that's really necessary, as maybe WinXP games will run fin on modern computers with Windows 7. Thanks in advance i know fallout 3 wont work on anything over vista without having to tinker with the games files not sure …

and r7 240 is slightly overkill but if you can find one for cheap go for it i actually own 2 hd 7570s (one is broken) and for xp era gaming its pretty good
