I will always remember an old dog from my compaq presario cds 520: quantum maverick 270MB The bearings was super noisy even when drive was almost brand new. Also super loud and crunchy overall. Apart from that I love these old seagate u4 or u8 with 512 kb of cache with capacity like 8 gigs or …

I was able to achieve 980 KB/s though http download (lan) using pentium 166 mmx on FIC PA 2002 and 64MB EDO ram under windows 95 C. The nic was an ISA version of 3com etherlink (very reliable card working stable).

Back in the days I had a Compaq Presario model CDS 520 equipped with am486sx2 66MHz and 4MB on board memory. I've installed win95 on it, but the 4 megs caused constantly thrashing the hdd (on old quantum maverick 270MB). Later I extended memory (2 slots each 16MB) for a total size of 36MB. Now this …

Very nice build. Have you thought about throwing into a 4000+ cpu? Would be super cool to have top tier single core for this socket (yeah I know, there is fx also).

Sounds like a good board ! Asrock did make some good ones. It has only two DIMM sockets so make sure you match the ram...it does only support one floppy (but many back then did :( ) The plan is to use two 1GB sticks, hopefully the same make and module. Not sure how XP64 will be with 2GB, but as …

What cpus do you plan to target? Are you aware 3dnow support is removed from amd cpus for almost 10 years or so? Also if you compile with latest mingw you are limited to more modern cpus and operating systems.

Re: Windows 95 - memory leaks? Memory issues
Posted on 2023-06-06, 14:47
Hi, this is the author of this topic :D After a lecture of all posts here and some experiments I came to the conclusion that the main issue is Internet Explorer. The second thing is probably driver or software memory leaks. Like I mentioned earlier, in 2002 (or '03 don't remember) I had 486 66 MHz …

Yeah exactly, I was doing a lot of I/O operations including transferring files over LAN, extracting archives on HDD and so on when dis trashing started occur and swapping a lot. But these files were not big, up to 70MB I think. I'd say disk cache that's ok but this never should cause swapping the …

Yes, closing IE is not causing any substancial drop in memory usage. I think I will go with another motherboard (ASUS CUSL2-C) with Pentium III and SDR memory. Will throw 128 or 256 megs or whatever it needs 😁

Try this experiment. Install gpuz, enable logging sensors and gpu load to file, start the game and play 5 minutes. Then check how much load on the gpu actually you have. Also check temperatures, maybe your problem is throtling?

Thanks! Nice finds. I run Aida64 on the PC and it shows clearly that the motherboard is MSI MS-6342/K7M Pro (MS-6340M) with KM133 chipset and VIA ProSavage IGP.

Agree, the capacitors will be replaced - no problem. What I'm looking for is any proof on the internet of an existence of these PCs. Manual maybe, available configurations. I did looked even in wayback, but no trace at all. Google images search also does not give any good results.

Hi guys. When I was a teenager my uncle gave me a computer as a gift, it was Fujitsu Siemens Xpert equipped with AMD Duron 900 and Nvidia Riva TNT 2 m64. Years after it was worn and I (sadly) throw it up. Now after a couple years of looking through the internet I was able to spot almost the same …

Hmm this is interesting, the setup program (nVidia ForceWare) said explicitly this is a Windows 2000 driver (it has been written in the setup title window and header label). The version I got is 180.48
