I’m thinking about ordering a Cooler Master i70 CPU Cooler - 120mm. I think it would be good, as a Hyper 12 Evo seem overkill and too cumbersome.

Posted on 2023-09-09, 03:20
Hello all, I have a boxed i5-3450 which comes with its own retail heatsink-fan. Now, on a separate build, I am trying to install an i7-4790, but I don't have any heatsink-fan for it. Can I use the i5's heatsink for it? What about the CPU? would 3rd gen CPU (LGA 1155) with on a 4th gen (1150) …

Great! I already have those! Thanks! Now, which graphics card do you recommend? Something that is around 2010~2013ish. (I just pulled another system that has an i5 (year 2012), and a RADEON HD4350, but I would like to replace this video card based on your recommendations) Best!

Wow, you guys are amazing! Thank you for all the awesome insights! OK, while we are at it, can you recommend good games besides the one that I originally listed? I need games from 2000 to 2012ish? FPS, Racing, RTS, etc. Thanks!

Thank you all for your great insights and comments. Now let me rephrase (and edit) my original query: Since P4 Northwoods is underpowered for these games, what games / period should I consider installing on this machine then? 1) I mean if I have to compromise for a 2000~2003 era, wouldn't a …

Command and Conquer 3, and 4 Red Alert 3 Also C&C4 totally does not exist, no need to even look it up. Really? How come I still own a physical copy in my library? It is called Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight https://www.ea.com/games/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-4-tiberian-twilight

Hello all, I would like to get your insights and recommendations on building an early 2000's (til 2005~2007ish) Pentium 4 build, on XP operating system. I have already built and own numerous Socket 5, Socket 7, PII, and PIII systems, so it is natural that I build a period correct Pentium 4 ( …

Mostly DOS based games, and very few Windows 95 specific ones, I am really trying to elevate/update the DX infrastructure of the OS more than anything else.

Posted on 2023-05-29, 22:57
Hello all, I am wondering if I can upgrade my existing Win95 (RTM, installed off of floppies) that is formatted in FAT16 into FAT32. The reason that I am trying to do this is the following: -Win95 is on a master IDE -I have secondary hard drive (games) that is on secondary IDE, BUT I would love to …
Re: IBM Model M Keyboard (1391401): 1990s or 1980's?

Thank you for your insightful comments. I think at the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference: To me (personally), the prospect of having a brand new keyboard in a box, seemed appealing. And although I enjoy restoring retro hardware, as much as the rest of you guys, having a pristine, …

Here are some images of the keyboard: I would say for $200 plus an additional $40 from eBay for the cable, it’s kind of ok.

Its logo is definitely an oval with blue IBM logo, and he lowered the price to $200 cash. I think it’s worth it. What do you think?

Hello all, I have the option to purchase a brand new, in the box IBM Model M Keyboard (assembly part number 1391401) . The only concern that I have is the manufacturing date: 12-11-92 I was under the impression that the original 1984 introduction date models (up to late 1988), are *better* quality …
Re: AWE64 Value drivers cause Win95 'Protection Error'

No luck with SBW9XUP.EXE, I am afraid. Same protection error message. I am going to think that this AW64 is NOT compatible with my motherboard's chipset. I am going to try my CT2910 SB16 Pro which seems a solid period correct replacement for my AWE64 card. (although I would lose my MIDI capabilities …
Re: AWE64 Value drivers cause Win95 'Protection Error'

When I get the protection error message, I am locked-out of my Windows 95 system Did you try booting Windows 95 in "safe mode" and to uninstall the AWE64 driver? To prevent automatic re-installation, check c:\windows\inf\other for an AWE64 inf file, and delete that one, too. Yes, I did, but I still …
