A cool project would be to solder together some memory sticks using newer die shrunk memory ics that would allow using the top end settings that were there but non usable from the hardware not being up to snuff.

Some musing, a card that can do 5250k has the bandwidth to do VGA at full speed, that's the bandwidth needed for 320x240@70fps, and 320x200@70 is 4375k, so from your vspeed results, on the 286 the ncr and cirrus card are capable of full speed for mode x, and 386 only the cirrus and only for VGA, …

Make a custom 4k resolution to see if it's just their mode setting they messed up on or whether they broke something fundamental.

He could use primocache drive caching, even for 32 bit xp with its 4gb limit using the invisible memory setting. As well, there's a PAE patch to get past the 4GB limit.

They probably would get the same results since games likely didn't take advantage of an FPU, but have you compared them without the FPUs installed?

The goal is to be able to play at max settings with no dips. Without pinning down what it would take using 3x as a rough guide, because in my recollection, era 2x sli would get performance up but not well enough for some. Stock vs stock, a 6700k is 2x in single threaded performance and 980ti is 3x+, …

Wanting to look into building a XP rig to "fill in" the gap between windows98/dos and current games. The Dell XPS models (400???) seem about right for a high end XP build (Duo-core and etc.) but what about the Xeon chips? Overkill or not applicable for games? Thanks ahead for any comments! Without …

There's only opl2, dual opl2, opl3 and knock offs which sound similar enough with what comparisons I've run across, they were just different, not off so it's a toss up. I default for dual opl2 simply for the stereo feature that's not implemented in opl3 but I can't think where that's taken advantage …

An fx-8350 at 49.5 is about equivalent to a Pentium @ 76 MHz. Drop it to 43 Mhz to roughly match a Pentium 66. Only thing left missing are ISA slots. Can you turn off caches? Maybe be able to get down to 386/486 speeds.

Looking at other cpu-z shots of phenom ii I know fsb is 200 default. What's the lowest multiplier? At 200fsb & .5 mult you're at a possible 100 MHz. A little lower and an ISA slot and it could be an alternate for a pentium dos machine.

How does it get a .75 multiplier? Also, have you ever checked to find the lowest fsb?
Re: Fastest Windows XP System
Posted on 2015-12-23, 11:48
Mobile versions of core 2 had chips with 133 & 166 fsb so depending on your board you should be able to get a desktop that low. 6x133/800mhz, 6x166/1ghz.
