Your current CPU would be more equivalent to like a slow Pentium M without SSE2 instructions or perhaps a Intel Tualatin on steroids. AMD equivalent to a Core 2 Duo maybe is more like a Athlon64 X2.

So if you want to play ms dos games ME isn't good for that. It's not any different to playing DOS games in Win98. The DOS VM is the same. It only lacks booting into DOS-only, but that's hardly needed for most games anyway. You can mod ME so that it works like a normal 9X operating system almost. …

Probably not. ME=Dos Version 8 which is a crippled version of Dos 7.1 from 98 ME also removes real mode dos support present in 98 So if you want to play ms dos games ME isn't good for that. So for you if the game you want to play is a DOS game with a windows install ME IS THE WORST OS> 🤣

I don't know anything about Seraphs. Is there another installer package which installs Direct X, wmp, visal studio updates, etc? . ya they are called addons, nlite and ryanvm support them. Its a modular approach to integrating updates or software including 3rd party programs into a xp install …

thats a bummer. yeah same id probably remove that front facia put it on a table and try to mold bondo in around the broken spot, try to sand it down to match and paint it. not much else u can do. if u had the original plastic that broke off you could use some acetone to glue it back together.

I would actually try inserting a PCI-E x1 lan card or a X1 sata card or any other x1 card into that slot to see if that slot isn't dead or that maybe there is something that was overlooked. Because I think that cannot possibly be true that a pci-e slot would only accept certain things and not …

Sp4 was made during this time but I never used it as the way I was updated my install discs I felt was superior. I would take clean vanilla XP source and slipstream Sp3, …
