If you are comfortable with buying overseas you should be able to put the machine together and avoid selling a kidney. Head over at Amibay, you'll find lots of stuff there. In case you don't find what you want, PM me, I might be able to help you out. I have no experience with this marketplace... …

Is there any way to put together a socket 7 dos/windows gaming pc cheaply? It just seems like the hardware is expensive. EDIT: i kind want to make a system similar to the ones on the philscomputerlab channel where you get an AMD CPU and you can play windows games but you can also slowdown the cpu …

retrogamerguy: It didn't run Windows XP very well, but I could launch IE and Pinball. But often it would run the JavaVM out of memory because I didn't know how to unallocate the byte code I generated for the dynamic recompiler. well pinball is the only reason why anybody would want XP this day and …

filipetolhuizen: I had good luck running SimTower in Dosbox with a copy of Windows 3.1. One of the goals BoxedWine is to be able to do that without an official copy of Windows 3.1. I started working on my own implementation of the Windows API, starting with Win32. I got Age of Empire and Caesar 3 …

The BDC (Backup Domain Controller) is a carbon copy of the PDC (Primary Domain Controller). Its purpose is to take over in the event of the PDC going down for whatever reason thus allowing for 100% (or as close to that as you can get) up time for client machines. So in the event of PDC failure (if …

Okay I had a slow day so I threw together a few short(ish) tutorials that might make things a little cleared on the DHCP and DNS front. At least you will get a better feel for what you are up against. Note these haven't been proof read or looked at by anyone who hasn't had hands on experience with …

Compared to newer servers (like 03 or higher (can't vouch for 2k, never worked on one)) NT4 server is a lot more hands on to configure and does not do anywhere near as much hand holding or helping you along the way. Which is better in a way for someone new to servers because it forces you to think …

Not sure about what you class as fun, but after the basics of DHCP, DNS, user accounts and adding a client or two are set up you could try: Setting up a web site using IIS (yeah, I know it will never be accessible on the real internet but its an interesting experiment). Remote boot. MAC services (I …

Virtualbox has support for NT4 and will work just fine hosting NT4 server and workstation (I tried it a while back, worked just fine) but you will need SP6 on hand because its required to install Virtualbox guest add-ons. And remember to set the networking to Internal network so the VMs are just …

(Technically not emulation, but it's close enough) I've been thinking of setting up a couple NT4 servers in a VM and having them connected in a domain (BTW, I've never set-up a domain before). My question is, what fun things can be done with a set-up like this and which software (on Windows 7) …

Even though I more or less grew up with Windows 98, I really don't love it. In fact years ago (back in 2010/2011), I went out of my way to torrent a stripped down version of the version of XP (but it wasn't TinyXP or MicroXP) and installed it on the Socket A athlon system I had at the time. I think …
