Got a Gigabyte WIFI 6E PCI card and want to take advantage of my WIFI 6E mesh system. Damn it found out Microsoft decided to leave 6G channel support to Windows 11 only.

I believe some of you may have 10+ motherboard or CPU to make a nice collection. How do you usually store them when they are not in a build ? (Any specific plastic box/shell ? Or even Pizza boxes 😜) Any recommendations ?

There were no official support for Sound BlasterX G6 on windows XP but it just worked. I just found that once I upgraded to the 1 Feb 21 firmware the sound card no longer works for XP. I reverted it to the last version(20 May 20) and it works just fine :-) Not sure if there is anyone using such a …

I also have a Pentium D 945. Maybe some mild OC on it but nothing extreme. I just want the cooler to be versatile to fit …

I am looking for a good modern cooler with 775 support. I don't like the plastic push pin design because it's too fragile. I think 212 evo v2 might be a decent choice. Any other ideas ? Thanks. Update: Just "ordered" a Noctua NM-I3 Mounting-Kit since I already have a U12S in my daily driver. I will …

use the xp 340.52 drivers, these ones are the best for kepler and older cards and allow you create custom resolutions and use DP connection because HDMI is very lame and restricted in winxp btw, instead DP if your monitor have DVI connection use it, it will allow 144hz, DP max refresh rate in winxp …

I remember I spent many hours on a specific game 15 years ago. But when I revisited it, I found that I might exaggerated the time I spent on it, because just a few weekends I played way more content than I did 15 years ago. 🤣.

You can't see the difference between a Ryzen 3800X and a XEON 5675 when not gaming... ummmmm.... My father-in-law got a Ryzen 2xxx series based laptop and it is so crazy quick that it is very easy to tell the difference between in and a laptop running a high end Intel 4th gen based laptop... for …

Back in the late 90s, my home PC was a IBM Aptiva with Pentium 133Mhz. When I visited my father's office, I poked around on my father's office PC and the Pentium MMX chip (233 or 200 I forgot) was a night and day difference for me. It was so much snappier than my home PC. Then in the early 00s, my …

I am now on a Ryzen 3800x. I am itching inside to get a Zen3 chip but I still cannot get over the price/performance ratio. If I end up buying one, it's less about need but more about fun. I missed the days that every PC was screaming for more performance even with the top of the line CPU.

Sometime I felt that there are a lot of unconscious emotions behind my retro activity. My favorite era is late 90s to mid 2000s, E.g. everything between 1st gen Pentium to Core 2 Dual/Quad. I always told myself that I like it because it is the golden age of PC computing. E.g. Technology were …

"Both computers are plugged in directly to my Xfinity modem via Ethernet." AFAIK, xifnity doesn't support multiple IP addresses for consumer plans. Did you try putting a router behind the modem and plug computers to the router instead ?

I missed the time that I can set my CRT monitor to 75hz+. Now finally I have a great modern 144hz 1440p monitor. I share this monitor between my daily driver windows 10 system and my xp retro build. (x58+GTX670. I know.. it's kind of too new for a XP retro build...) However, even at low resolution ( …

I bought this card a year ago. Yes it looks kinda sketchy but not "completely" fake. I would also guess this is from a salvaged FX 5200 chip. One thing I observed is that this card works with some older driver versions but not newer(even it says FX5500 supported). It's still usable as part of a …

🤣. I like your ideas. What's your next troll build idea ? Maybe a Pentium D 800 series or FX 4000 series build ? Or, maybe a Sempron 140/145 would be fun too.
