Re: 2009 build - Win 7 or XP?

Posted on 2018-11-22, 09:16

For that build I would go with Windows XP! A high end XP machine with dual core CPU and 4gb of ram is perfectly suited for all those 2006-2009 era games! This would be more like a 2007 machine not like a 2009 with the exception of the GPU! I have several LGA775 machines and with maxed out RAM they …

Last night I had enough of Windows Me and formatted the HDD. Installed Windows 2000; chip-set drivers, audio drivers and video card drivers. I let the system run 3dmark 2001 overnight and this morning is was still running it so I guess 2000 will remain for now! I used a 200gb IDE HDD but only the …

I want to share with fellow members my 775 builds. This period is one of the most interesting in history: going from single core Pentium 4 to core 2 quad which can still be used today! I have several LGA775 builds but only with the latest one I encountered problems. The components are as follow: CPU …

I found the problem with USB keyboard: you need a somewhat older model not a recent one! With an old Genius it works just fine but with a brand new wireless Logitech it would not! I installed all the POS2009 updates until August 2018 and the system is working fine; no glitches whatsoever! About the …

OK I will use a 80 GB hard drive and install Windows Me. The system is maxed out at 512 MB and I will use the 1.4 GHz celeron. Because I don't have a correct era video card I will use a Radeon 9250 for now! Is a 300 w power supply OK for this system? One problem is the USB keyboard that is not …

Smart is OK! The problem is the transfer rate of about 66 MB/s which is really poor! it's incredible how far the same old technology - hard drive - has advanced in 10 years! I got a WD black 2tb that has a 200 MB/s transfer rate! Now I have a few questions about the second socket 370 system! The …

Tonight I replaced the Celeron 1400 with Tualatin 1400 after a 24h loop of 3dmark 2001 went well! I was thinking about an era correct hard drive from 2001 but after seeing how slow is this one from 2005 I am not going to an even slower one! SSD/SATA controller do not represent an appropriate …

Noctua fan arrived! I glued it to the chip-set heat sink and it runs very quiet at 3700 rpm! The thermometer now registers 38 - 39 degrees and I can touck the back of the motherboard when the chip-set is located now! I installed Windows XP on the system and it runs just fine an is also period …
