Re: Slowest Desktop Processor For Windows 10

i need to know if im correct: Windows 10 Requires NX. So in theory the slowest processor you can run it is the Pentium 4 2.4Ghz Prescott and Sempron 2500+ 754? Not sure about this NX requirement but a Pentium 4-M 1.2GHz should be as slow as you can go and with the lowest wattage. But why do you …

Re: Windows 95 or 98 for MS-DOS Games

Which is better for MS-DOS games? Since you specify for MS-DOS games. Use 98SE and boot into pure DOS mode. That is the best environment. Partition 1 will be 2GB FAT16 Partition 2 you can use a FAT32 Extended Partition. But make sure you copy the directory files to the Partition 1 if you are …

Given the specs of your system you system is meant for DOS only. 3.1 will work but like you said it looks like a POS and honestly I believe all 3.1 software can run in 95/98. Plus nothing really was worth playing that supported 3.1 that I can recall or exclusive to 3.1 that there wasn't a DOS …

So Vista is 3 weeks outside of support with less than 1% market share, does it not qualify for Retro Sorry Jean-Luc... Vista is not retro. Retro usually implies games or software that only run on that particular operating system making it nostalgic. Plus Vista is quite beautiful compared to say …

Re: Windows 95 & DOS games

Sounds like a sound card problem. You'll need a Sound card that has SB emulation using a driver if you're running in DOS mode and it is a DOS game. I assume that there are no operational quirks with MS-DOS 7.x versus MS-DOS 6.22? Also is it best to install Windows 95 as FAT16 rather than FAT32 or …

I appreciate that getting a virus is fairly difficult in the first place, but with the recent ones exploting network shares I know there is an attack vector. From the times I've had to reinstall the kids' computers I know they download and install any old thing without thinking about it. Even my …
