Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

Hi Hoping, I happen to deal with the same board at the moment and trying to install Windows XP 32bit. But whatever I do I always get the blue screen at the end of installation (loading drivers I guess). Whatever I do I just can't make it work. How was your installation? Did you do any "magic tricks …

Re: New PCI soundcard with ESS Maestro 2SC

I have found the AC97 1921S codec datasheet used on these cards and even with my limited knowledge, I only see one stereo output with left and right channel output and one mono output, I don't think more than two speakers will work properly. The 4558D output amplifier also supports only two channels …

Re: New PCI soundcard with ESS Maestro 2SC

I like this kind of recycled cards they make in China like the Rage XL, from what it says on the datasheet of the Maestro 2, I understand that this chip was intended more to be integrated into motherboards rather than used in a standalone sound card. Maybe they were a bunch of old stock chips, or …

Re: New PCI soundcard with ESS Maestro 2SC

I also have two Maestro 2SC sound cards bought on AliExpress, so far I have not spent much time researching the drivers, although I have to do it because for example in Quake 2 there are obvious sound problems that even affect the performance of the game, while in GLQuake, changing the AWE64 value …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

Like this B85 board for $20... https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807223047663.html It even has an NVMe slot if you need such a thing. Honestly this is kind of incredible for the price. Has anyone here ever used one of these JINGSHA boards? Well, I have a Jingsha X99-D8 motherboard with C612 …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

EDIT: Or... you could add a few inches to the system in all directions and get a 990, 9010 or 9020 MT with plenty of room for everything, including full height PCI sound cards and PCI-E graphics cards. Get the computer for almost nothing (possibly free), grab a Quadro K2200 for $30 and an X-Fi …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

Well, not anymore. Wifi? Nope. Your internet provider has IPv6? Big nope. This is off the topic of this thread I think. I only use the WIFI network to surf the internet, for which Wifi-N is more than enough for me and although I don't use it more than as a bridge, my ISP's Router supports Wifi-N …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

I installed XP on the computer I showed in this thread out of curiosity and because I wondered if it would really be so interesting XP on a computer that would not belong to the XP era, but I do not see the real utility beyond curiosity. I don't have windows XP on any computer more modern than 939 …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

The R7 250 on paper, seems to be quite a bit worse than the K620 and let's not mention the 750Ti which will make even more of a difference. Around here the low profile R7 250 is not very common from what I've looked and its price tends to be higher than the K620 so it's not a logical choice. And …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

AMD had nothing equivalent to Nvidia's options in this case, i.e. performance, low profile and XP drivers, and I have many more AMD graphics cards than Nvidia. But in this case I see no choice on AMD's side, the latest low profile AMD graphics cards with XP support are a far cry in performance from …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

Got the cards. So far K1200 consumes the same 22W as K620? Huh. Not sure I can trust the GPU-Z on this one, although it's indeed has lower clock and voltage than K620. Anyway, it's almost twice as fast in Heaven (1175 score), but F.E.A.R. result is less impressive (96 average vs 126 average). …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

The Pentium M's were far superior to the P4's both Banias and Dothan. I had no idea about Intel's name switching back and forth between Celeron, Pentium and Atom. I would say that the first generations of the Atom would be at a similar level to a Pentium III, the N270 were used with XP or linux, and …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

The Celeron 2957u is of Haswell architecture, and although it may sound ridiculous, you cannot compare an Atom with a Celeron, the Atom are designed for the lowest possible power consumption, while the Celeron use the same architecture as their superior brothers, but they are greatly reduced, If I'm …

Re: smallest computer that can run windows XP with supported hardware (especially video card?)

The GPU of Atom processors with XP support seems to be quite capable for games up to 2002 at best, although compatibility is sometimes trial and error, I don't consider any Atom to be capable of running all DX8/9 games correctly, let alone with the integrated GPU. With the integrated GPU I would say …
