I don't think there will be many systems trying to run both MSE and Exchange. Unfortunately, malware has gotten to the point where simply visiting a malformed site or displaying an HTML email that has been specially crafted can bite you. Turning off HTML in email and using filters upstream will …

I do not have 3.8ghz xeons nor will I be. I got 2 SL7ZC for like 3$ on ebay. I also have 2 SL7AE. I'll believe the SL7ZC will do better do to the higher FSB and clock speed. I'll find out. I'll probably stick with the SL7ZC do the lower cost, if one died I can replace it much easier. EDIT: looking …

I don't know for sure. No bios beeps and my post card stops of odd codes. Sometimes it even pulled FF code but no post. Sometime FE but for the most time it would stop of reserve codes. I think the NB is bad. it was missing a heatsink mount and was not on right. I'm going to be returning it. I …

I'd like to see a dos game take advantage of newer hardware, like from today haha. that would be a lot of work unless if something like openAL and openGL was used/ported. if you need any testers let me know. I don't have a true dos system but I can test in dosbox. If I do get ahold of a dos system …

Thanks guys. Those Unisys system are pretty close to the size I'm looking for. Having 2 expansion slots would be nice, but the onboard nic will be handy and can be used inplace of a cd drive. But I don't really dig the look.

Biggest exploits are email, infected ads, and shady sites. Do your email somewhere else (I have a linux laptop for email and financial stuff), use an ad blocker (uBlock Origin is best), and don't go to shady sites. :) That would depend on the user, Not everyone uses the internet in the same way. …

If you have a good antivirus and you're smart about what you do on the internet, XP will be just fine. Malware from the web is only one part of system security. XP has that down packed for now, its all the other holes that can be manually exploited you truly need to be worried about at this pinot. …

Well, yes - but I'm headed off to college and the printer I'm going to have is pretty much guaranteed to be a standard inkjet all-in-one (HP Officejet, or something other such equivalent style). You shouldn't let your retro hobby interfere with important stuff. There is a time and place for using a …

To say xp is secure is a lie. It can be made pretty well secure. But out of the box even with all the sec updates it's still not even all that secure.

Xp was never very secure fine the get go. But m$ still makes sec updates for xp, just not openly releases them. I.E. paid updates derived from pos 2009 In fact most of the updates you get for xp today (if you pay for them) are just repackaged tested pos 2009 updates.

How would one do that? If it were not for shellbags I'd make a custom folder full of shortcuts in list view and keep it on the desktop. But I hate shellbages. I wonder if i could unable it on just one folder?
