Re: Windows 10 on an old laptop. Impressive!

Just installed Windows 10 Pro 64-bit clean on an 80 GB SATA hard drive in a Dell Optiplex 755 running a 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo and 4GB of DDR2 memory. Works like a charm, but I'm missing a PCI Serial Port driver. Now I get to go purchase two Win10 license keys in order to make these old PCs work. And …

Re: Windows 10 on an old laptop. Impressive!

My low-power Windows 10 story is my Samsung N150 netbook. http://valid.x86.fr/cache/banner/2jkvjm.png It's a 1.6 GHz Atom single-core processor with hyperthreading and 2GB of DDR3 memory, but it came with a 250 GB slow-as-dirt hard drive and Windows 7 Starter, which I had managed to get to a …

Re: Windows 98 not connecting to NAS

I can also drop files onto that drive from my Win10 PC since the internet is stable and works lightning fast over there compared to using Firefox 2.0 on …

Re: Windows Vista...

Well, no lie, Windows XP was a great operating system when you compare it to the relatively unstable Windows 9X systems that came before it. I never got a chance to use Windows 2000 so I cannot speak about it. But I know that MY copy of Windows 98 was more stable than my mother's Windows Me computer …

Re: Windows Vista...

I leave UAC exactly where it is. I WANT to know if a program is asking for administrator permissions to mess around with Windows folders. This was a HUGE security fix from the Windows XP and earlier days where everything just had full rights to do anything it wanted on your PC without asking your …

Re: What's your favorite thermal compound?

When I first built my Core i7-860 PC 6 years ago, I bought a small tube of Arctic Silver 5. Swore up and down by it...but I never really noticed or cared if it was giving me 1-2C difference in temps. And I don't think it's any different than some other pastes I've used at the office. I only recently …
